Unfortunately for him, the unsavory Shark (Cle Bennett) is equally determined to wait for Murray to come down and finish the robbing as he had intended, and an all-night standoff quickly ensues.

    Christ not another film about a yuppie guy trapped up in a tree by a group of young hoodloms...yawn.

    Indeed friends-all of you who have declared to not be interested in this film (95% of my friends list)-I just watched it for the 2nd time. It's a good movie with some great dia... read morelogue and pretty good acting by the guy in the tree. Forgive me-David Hewlett is the treed guy's name.

    ANYWAY this is an interesting and thought provoking film-that deals with issues of survival/good vs evil/human indifference and cruelty. There are some terrific mindgames/manipulations as Murray tries to get down from the tree without being murdered by the aforementioned young hoodloms.

    Give it a chance-it's Canadian eh!!

    As so often happens with Canadian movies it is a metaphor social commentary drama, where a yuppie ad executive is treed by a gang of muggers and a battle of wits ensues.
    Interesting but doesn't really go anywhere.
