    fairly good standard 90s cheese action fest, with jumping out of planes think passanger 57 but not quite. alike enough that if you like one will like the other (on balance i think passanger is better though) not much more to say snipes, explosions, parachuting, classic hard bitten female lead that softens, oh i know its point break for skydiving. (but again point break is better) its a good enough way to while away a couple of hours and dosent ask to much of you

  • Very average film with little going on

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from Farnborough , 28 Oct 2011
    Dubious script, average acting and poor special effects. Throw in an unnecessary and bad free fall rescue and it didn't start well.

    There was surprisingly little of the famed Snipes fighting - in fact he seemed to get beaten up more than the other way round. Unusual when you cast someone like him in the role.

    The film was full of mistakes - one being that you need to do multiple jumps with an ordinary chute before you can go onto square chutes - but that's Hollywood for you. Snipes goes into an exhibition jump having done practically nothing previously. Mad!

    For a skydiving film there are some decent free fall sequences, but I was expecting a lot better.

    In general - an average film with not much more to recommend.

  • Bit of a belly flop

    I got halfway through this film before realising I'd seen it before, so memorable was it. Only James Bond's skydiving could have been more incredible, and without this aspect this film was nothing special. Not one of Wesley's finest.

  • Mad but watchable adventure film

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Huddersfield , 04 Feb 2010
    This was better than I thought it was going to be. If you like action, this will not disappoint. It all seemed a bit over the top at times, but the incredible sky diving sequences made this movie. Apart from one that I looked away for, the others were very interesting to watch and beautiful too. There were a good few moments of humour in the film, which added to it's 'watchableness.'
