Thoroughly enjoyed this movie! Love David Hewlett in SGA and really found his performance in this movie to be fantastic! Really would recommend this movie to all David Hewlett fans!

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.

A very good movie. One of the better films David Hewlett has starred in, right up there with Cube. Definitely worth the price. An intriguing look at the good and bad side of society and human nature. David does an excellent job playing Murray, the advertising executive with dirty little secrets and a dysfunctional family life, forced to take refuge up a tree in a city park when he strikes a gang member intending to rob him. I don't know any of the other actors, but they did an equally great job portraying the vicious gang hell bent on getting Murray (David) down. If you're a fan of David's work, I'd definitely get it.

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

The best movie of 2001 by far. A little known Canadian jewel that will leave an impact on you long after the cathode flicker has faded. Superbly layer and texturing psychological thriller which pits a gang of urban thug against a tree-bound wing-tipped marketing executive. It become of war of endurance as wit and psychology pit against each other in a battle of the Minds.

I think this movie was awesome. David Hewlett was really fantastic and you really feel sorry for him. The kids that played the gang were also very good. I recommend this movie to any David Hewlett fan.

Appropriately titled, "Get Down", because that is literally what the main character's assailants want him to do and what he is desperately trying his best not to do, once he lands up in a tree after defending himself in a botched robbery. While they're waiting each other out, there are moments when each character's own inner turmoils comes to light. I thought it was quite a different approach and a very interesting concept for a movie.

When it first started I thought it was gonna be totally different. I thought that the white guy would be caught in the middle of two gangs and see if he survives. Turns out he gets stuck, they hide from the gang, and they live. With all the anticipation to see whether or not cle' bennet and his gang get the man out of the tree is a cliff hanger. But in the end is a twist. You'll have to watch it to find out. Overrall performance, I'd say the loyalty, and then betrayal of words can separate many people...It's the truth everyone is looking for. What's ur truth?

Not what you expect from a gangster style movie-David Hewlett was superb kept you interested and guessing on what will happen next.

Originally I only bought this movie because of David Hewlett. I have seen a few of his movies and love him in Stargate Atlantis, so I decided to see some of his other movies. As always, I am impressed by David's wonderful acting. Combined with the plot of the movie, this was a wonderfully enjoyable movie.

Get Down (or Treed Murray) is a movie that really brings into the light what people will do for themselves, but also what they will do for others. It's the best and it's the worst. This movie was gripping and I really had no idea what would happen at the end. I do not regret buying this movie. Even if I had only rented, I would have bought it anyway. For David Hewlett fans I highly recommend this movie. For anyone who is just interested in the odd title (either one) I say the same. This movie caught me by surprise. I assure you that it will do the same for any future viewers.
