I find it hard to care about characters whose decisions are so questionable that they deserve their doomed fate.
At times, ‘Fall’ feels like a VOD movie, especially with the visual effects and greenscreen parts. Besides the main problem that the two characters face, being stuck 2,000 feet at the top of a remote abandoned radio tower, there’s a personal conflict between the two that I didn’t care about. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is also there but very briefly. I can tell he filmed all his scenes during the weekends, away from The Walking Dead.
However, one of the best praises I can give to this movie is that it did a brilliant job of triggering one of my deepest fears, which is heights, as my hands were sweating at times. I was never bored watching it. I know it was stupid going up the tower and ignoring all the red flags. On the other hand, the way the two main characters try to get help is clever and effective.
The film isn’t that bad.
