Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
krigler I love no-budget thrillers and applaud every young filmmaker who opts for the genre route, resisting the too easy art-house choice. Indie thrillers sometime make such gems as The Following, Brick, Primer or to some extent Fermat's Room. In some cases, though, independent genre films turn out to be complete turd, like GPS.What enrages me in this case is the fact that the makers of this film have obviously talent. Photography is excellent, also the editing is inspired. Music is also good, but it's used way too much, and becomes amateurish after a while. Acting is more miss than hit - I give more credit to the actors and chalk it up for the inept directing and rubbish screenplay. The director obviously has talent too in staging action, blocking the scenes, choreographing but he apparently knows zilch about instructing actors. And he should definitely stay away from trying to write a screenplay.Putting so much talent and apparently a good deal of money into such a turgid story is a waste on so many levels that it frustrates me as a viewer. The screenplay completely lacks originality and gets stupider from scene to scene until such a ridiculously convoluted climax that it is mind-boggling. Every bad C-category slasher/thriller cliché is present from the masked stalker (really.... it is so tired it cannot be less menacing) to the characters becoming suspicious of each other, to the worst offence of all: the talking killer in the end, who explains everything at length while holding the other characters at gunpoint. And the resolution... let's just say it puts the most far-fetched soap operas to shame with its utterly non-sensical, melodramatic "reveal". What's worse, it's played completely straight, without a hint of irony (even with irony it would be lame, without it it's an embarrassment to everyone who has been connected to this fateful production).Owing to the zero characterization and completely predictable, silly plotting, there is little to hang on to for a viewer, thus any unfolding events generate less suspense than a shrug or a disbelieving groan. It's a pity, because the GPS gimmick sounded original, and there is even a neat visual - though seemingly dated - trickery tracking the protags' route in the woods.Let's hope these obviously talented filmmakers find a job working on others' films. Or find a good screenwriter asap. The world needs great indie genre films, but not uninspired knockoffs of already bad B-movies.
doomer-9 I normally refer to user write-ups and use them to assist me in choosing a fun film to watch. Sometimes the reviews are spot-on, and sometimes it almost seems like someone has coerced their friends to write up a bunch of misleading and plain false reviews to artificially inflate the films review score. I think this may have been done here. If that is not that case, then this is one Ed Wood fan that has found a film that he is just too picky for...Daniel Magill's character, Andrew, while seeming somewhat whiny stands above the rest of the cast that come across as amateur actors putting together a college film during a long weekend. I am sure they will improve upon their craft as they garner experience, and I wish them all the luck. However, it's painfully obvious here that they have a long way to go.This is one of those movies that reminds you of the worst of the "Scream" series of movies, just without the polish. If you go by the some of these other "reviews" here, you will be misled. This movie is an absolute turkey. Reader beware!
spectordan I really enjoyed seeing this movie in Houston, Texas. The movie very well-written, well-produced, and well-acted. The script is a really unique idea, taking the well-traveled idea of a scavenger hunt and infusing it with modern technology. And like every good adventure story, the plot unfolds with lots of unexpected twists and turns. I actually found myself gasping at several key moments.Generally the movie reminded me a little of "Blair Witch Project" with a few significant differences: better script, better production, and better acting. The starring duo of Magill and Proios really had great on screen energy; I particularly enjoyed Proios's Jack Black-like antics in the front half of the film.You will have to see the film to appreciate its awesome surprise ending. You will never guess where it is headed!
cgariando I don't know a lot about "GPS hunts" or "Geocaching" or whatever it is called, but you don't need any experience with activity as the filmmakers introduce you to it in the opening scenes of the film. The story and dialog were top notch. The excitement builds throughout the movie to the conclusion that catches you off guard.I Was impressed with the quality of the production. It has a great story that reminded me of "The Contract" with John Cusack and Morgan Freeman with a some of the Blair Witch's frenetic quality thrown it. Scenes in the dark woods make you feel the suspense and fear the characters are experiencing. There are moments of levity that fit the characters and situations and brought real laughs from the audience.
