Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

In my line of work I see a lot of movies, and I see way too many Indies. Most I can't finish. GPS, thankfully wasn't one of them. This movie breaks the mold and strives to be more. It is what a true Indie should be. It's filled with many wide open beautiful landscapes, lots of interesting and good looking faces, and a compelling hook that keeps you invested to the very end. In addition to helicopter shots and stunts, the movie has solid performances. The five leads are enjoyable, but Paul Proios and Danielle Renee really steal the show. I'm reminded of the Robert Rodriguez and Kevin Smiths of the world, who made big movies with small budgets.

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!

I am not a big action thriller fan but I loved this movie. It had enough twists and surprises to keep you on the edge of your seat. I saw it at the Studio Movie Grill in Houston and would rather have seen it in a regular theater to not get distracted by the serving of food. However, Daniel and Paul were awesome in their roles and their best scenes were together. Daniel Magill may be a newcomer but he carried this movie brilliantly. I am more than ready for a sequel, how about GPS-Hawaii or GPS-Easter Island, Wow! Better yet... 'GPS - The Florida Keys', could be totally awesome. The Texas Premiere was great. Thank you Eric Colley, Hallie Shepherd, and Daniel Magill, the eyes of Texas shown upon you last night. I have seen Daniel Magill in other performances on stage and screen and his versatility is amazing and his best moments are subtle and very human. Having him there at the premiere to meet greet, and answer questions was charming and gracious. Hollywood, take notice! You have a new Robert Redford talent here in Houston, grab him quick.

I saw GPS in LA. This movie blew me away. I expected a low budget campy horror film and got an epic adventure that took me back to my favorite thriller movies from the 80's. Indiana Jones, Goonies, Weird Science, Lost Boys, all were fun and memorable and GPS stands up to these wonderful cult classics. This film looked gorgeous, I think it was High Def, definitely felt and looked like a real movie. The editing was professional, fast paced and the story moved along nicely. Never had that cheesy, bad editing, that you would expect in indie horror films today. Granted, this is a movie about GPS Hunting or "Geocaching" and they really make it light hearted with a lot of comedy and still have serious parts to keep you in suspense. Reminds me of Suicide Kings, or a "Who Done It" mystery, very clever. They also have a theme song to boot, hilarious. They don't make films like this anymore and I miss them. Great Job on a whatever budget you had, kudos to a job well done, you guys should be proud! (singing) Going on a GPS Hunt.... Me and Andrew.....
