Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover
Advertising executive Murray Roberts (David Hewlett) is walking home after work through a city park when he takes a very wrong turn and is mugged by a street gang. Running for his life, he climbs twenty feet up a tree to escape the impending mayhem. The gang, led by vicious but articulate "Shark" (Cle Bennett), isn't going anywhere, and neither is Murray - which leads to a standoff that won't end until someone's blood is on the ground.

4.0 out of 5 stars What's up Murray?, November 14, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Treed Murray (DVD)
I happen to see this movie quite by accident, and am glad I did. Its not an action movie, or comedy, although there are some funny parts. There are some serious issues in this movie, and the best part, like real life everything does not get resolved at the end of the movie. It leaves you thinking and pondering both how you would have handled this situation, but it also opens your eyes to look past yourself. Murray learns a lot, about himself and about a group of youth, one guy in particular. The youth learn something as well. Lessons are learned at a great cost. A good movie to watch if you work with young people.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thrilling movie, February 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Treed Murray (DVD)
We got the only copy in the local BB on VHS only and really enjoyed. My wife enjoys getting involved in a movie and was yelling at the screen at some of more tense points.

Very Canadian...but in a good way not bad...production value was good.

A real gem that has not been widely available in video stores. Made my top 10 for 2002
