Watch Rising Fear For Free

I love this movie so much

Touches You

Boring

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A $6000 budget (ok, estimated. I'm sure it would've been a lot more than that had it had real actors) and you're going to snark about it? The story is good. The twists are good. The acting is, ok, wearing a mask is good. You can get an Oscar by painting your face. Just ask what's-his-name the drug addict in the Batman movies.Ok, yeah, it needs real special effects. And real actors. But on a $6k budget? I think some costs were under reported. Maybe financed by the CIA or something. Enjoy the movie. Have a couple drinks and enjoy the movie. Give this kid some $$ to do a real film and you'll find something good.

Some movies are bad in such a way that they're entertaining or amusing. This is not such a movie. This one is just painful to watch and painful to listen to because the directing, editing, and acting is all so bad. At one point early on the doughy, half-dimensional "star" was being tortured and I actually envied him because he wasn't sitting on my couch watching this movie.I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it obeyed my commands and stopped when I pressed the Stop button.

Ryan Taylor (Tom Getty) former Marine special ops gets tricked into dialing a phone number that blows up a building in Pittsburgh because they give tax breaks for filming there. He is captured and the truth doesn't work so he escapes from the CIA? and is on a quest to save the President and Pittsburgh from an Al Qaeda Darth Vader looking bad guy from Chechnya who spouts corny recycled lines from a Uwe Boll film. This is all the while avoiding CG rockets launched from helicopters in downtown Pittsburgh. Cool, if you're 12.The film lacked character build up and the necessary love story in lieu of a slightly twisty plot that wasn't that good. Didn't really care if Ryan Taylor lived or died. There was nothing special about him.Guide: No swearing sex or nudity.

What a find. Never heard of Tom Getty before this film, which is entirely his: script,lead roll, directing, and editing. Real talent flying under the radar. Great twisting plot and everything Rothschilds said in his review.Like other films in this genre the antagonist gets his 15 minutes to explain his motives which are thought provoking and jarring, bringing to mind Gary Oldmans speech in Air Force One and Ned Beattys in Shooter. But Rising Fear has an element of originality I rarely see, especially in a film with such a small budget. And on that subject the special effects are quite good, and I would like to see a Tom Getty film made with some real money backing so that he might branch out more, even though I don't see how more funds could have improved this effort. If you're a fan of action flicks you really don't want to miss this one.
