Treed Murray (William Phillips, 2001)

6/10
The things I find watching MPix late at night. Mostly Canadian movies that never got/don't really deserve a whole lot of attention. This one is about a guy (Murray) who climbs up a tree in a park to escape the wrath of a local gang of stereotypical street ruffians that he's unwisely angered. With both sides refusing to blink first, we're left to watch the psychological warfare that unfolds. Considering it's a movie with 7 actors and it all takes place in or around a tree, it's impressive enough for what it is. Things unfold generally as expected and the acting is solid all around. A decent enough distraction for the 80 minutes it took of my life. Godawful title though.
