Emulation

This movie kept my attention all the way through, lots of twists and turns, just the way I like them. And the actors were fantastic! I was really believing what was going on and couldn't wait until the next part to see what was going to happen. The action scenes were extremely well executed. I was fooled more than once by this movie. Looking forward to seeing a movie that has the ability to have sequels. That would be great! Anyone who likes an action packed thriller will be interested in seeing this movie. Way to go cast on putting together a terrific flick with a well thought out plot and amazing ending. Well directed, can't wait to see more!!

After watching this movie, I couldn't believe it was made by a college student. Each scene was a well-crafted display of the director's vision. This film is the culmination of high-quality cinematography, editing, music, and special effects. To say that this is a well-thought out and well-executed film is an understatement. It is the product of a future star.

The most impressive part of this movie is that Thomas Getty started with a vision and turned it into a final product that displays his skill and creativity while providing entertainment value. Not many people are capable of matching that feat.

A lot of the other reviewers (as of July 2013) are lying through their teeth about this being a quality, exciting, well acted or well directed film. Truth is that this film is an example of novice film making gone awry. Although the general idea for the plot is creative, the film's use of non-actors in major character roles, its novice level direction, along with its very poor editing make this film as one that is almost entirely impossible to get through without fast forwarding and skipping scenes altogether. But, the question I ask myself is whether it's the worst movie I've ever seen??? My honest answer is a solid, unequivocal Yes.

Nevertheless, I do congratulate the kid who tried to pull this off simply for his courage to try to do so. However, I after shooting first scene or two I have to fault him for his time wasting foolishness for thinking that this film was going to turn out being anything but a complete and total failure.

Any producer/director worth his salt would know when to fold up the production and patiently wait until the film could resume with competent actors and production staff. I'd assume that the kid who made this film was well aware shortly after filming began that it was going to be a failure but was too intimidated by the thought of having to tell his friends and family that he needed to replace them. It's a hard thing to tell a friend, who has put a lot of time and effort into helping you fulfill a dream, that their efforts diminish the value of the film's quality, but that's the price of the leadership role you have assumed in trying to make this movie.

If I were the producer/director of this film and had any aspirations of making it in the film industry, the first thing I would do is to ensure that every copy is destroyed and pulled from the internet so that no one in the film business could ever see it in the future and form a derogatory opinion of me when considering me for film work. It's simply a shame that it's been registered on IMDb because it's now more difficult to hide it. This is not a film making effort to be proud of, but is instead one to take a hard look at evaluate the reasoning and causality behind its criticisms and simply learn from it. I'd also ask my friends and family who posted those overtly enthusiastic reviews to go back and correct them with what they really think of the film.

Saw this one at the Barebones International Film Festival in Oklahoma and have to say the director did a good job doing a throwback to 90s conspiracy thrillers like The Game and Total Recall. I'm eager to see what comes next from him.

Lots of interesting twists and turns. As a whole it was very tightly constructed, not a slow moment throughout. Also makes great use of locations in Pittsburgh.

Very entertaining. Tom Getty displays incredible potential and has action scene smarts. Despite budgetary restrictions, the set pieces were still incredibly impressive

Coming from someone that will never be considered a "movie buff", this picture had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end! Getty remarkably portrays a character that gets much more than he bargained for when he desires to live his life through the twists and turns of a movie. I could really see the fear in Noah (Getty) as he suddenly becomes the subject of a nationwide manhunt, unsure of who he can trust or how to clear his name.

With many twists and turns throughout, you will have no idea what to expect. Trust me when I say that when Getty eventually becomes a well known and respected name in the Hollywood community, this will be a movie that helped catapult him to his success. I personally cannot wait to see "Rising Fear", which I've heard to be Getty's next film!

In short, watch this film and enjoy the ride. You will not be disappointed!!
