BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

kojak_aussie RISE that's exactly what it did for me, it made me want to rise to be a better person. A great Aussie film, it is a must see for everyone.Very inspiring and uplifting film, it makes you want to achieve anything and everything you could.Great cast Martin Sacks and Nathan Wilson did a great job.Jimmy Cove was by far my favorite character, Martin Sacks in my opinion was made to play him.The writer and director Mack Lindon has an amazing story and I'm glad he shared it with us.Overall a fantastic story, well written with an amazing cast. Look forward to seeing more work from Mack Lindon.

Jahleel Shelling Through laughter and tears this true story is incredibly impacting. Step into the cinema with a box of tissues and an appetite for the raw edge of life. You will come out more enlightened to the other side of the story and have a deeper desire for justice. It embraces passion, victory, courage and truth. The depth of a mans heart is exposed and what is revealed is staggering and unexpected considering his circumstances. Choice of leading roles Martin Sacks (Jimmy Cove) and Nathan Wilson (Will McIntyre), were excellent. Its incredible to see our Actors on the big screen, what a great Australian film. Well done to director Mack Lindon in his great venture bringing this story to life. Don't miss this film!

speakerstudio Rise is a movie with all the drama, the hope and hopelessness that only a story based on fact can inspire. A tense and dramatic look at what it means to be incarcerated, and made even more heart wrenching when the person is innocent. mack Lindons story, his screenplay, his directing and even a cameo role have created a movie of great intensity. For most of us who hopefully will never know what it is like to spend any time locked in a cell with a diverse set of characters, and to have only the faintest glint of hope of turning over there appeal of innocence, this is a glaringly dramatic and incredible well made and acted movie. i applaud all who were involved in bringing out the truth J Regan

hobbsey123 This movie is extremely touching. I've never left a cinema feeling more rewarded! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching RISE to anybody needing to be uplifted. A few laughs, tears and a sense of walking out taller than when you walked in. With a budget this small, I'm blown away that not only was there quality talent but the music choice was perfectly placed to compliment the emotions for each scene. Well done to Nathan Wilson (Will McIntyre) and Martin Sacks (Jimmy Cove) Nathan Wilson - an up and comer set to reach some height in the entertainment industry. Congratulations! On another note, it makes you remember that not everyone who goes to jail is guilty. So often it appears people are 'guilty until proved innocent' rather than the other way round. My hope is that people in all walks of life will be positively impacted by this story. The world needs more uplifting films like RISE and I'm not surprised that this film has ruffled the feathers of people who would prefer to watch films that promote hopelessness, death and zombies.
