Truly Dreadful Film

Not even bad in a good way

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

A different way of telling a story

The shocking true story of a man falsely accused of convicted of rape, having to deal with a crime he did not commit, the prison systems and some pretty hardened criminals. Down to earth, one man's story, to find justice and peace.

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.

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.

This movie had me interested the whole way through. Loved the lead, Nathan Wilson, and the main supporting actor, Martin Sacks. Nathan playing the role of an innocent, but convicted rapist serving his time and Martin a hard core life-long criminal, form an incredibly close relationship.If you don't want any mention of God in your movies, skip this one. It's not the underlying theme of the movie, but it does play a role in the personalities of some of the characters.All the girls will love Nathan. But it's Martin I'd like to see more of in the future. Great character actor, I could see him in a variety of roles.Rise keeps a steady pace throughout. Based on a true story, this drama is definitely worth a look.
