    Terminal stupidity, more like it. The second in a brief Hollywood flirtation with skydiving movies — Drop Zone came out in the same year — this big, dumb action thriller exhilarates when airborne, but drags dangerously when on solid ground. Charlie Sheen plays the dogged parachuting instructor investigating the death of a pupil, who gets mixed up with Russian gangsters. It's good to see Nastassja Kinski back on the screen after a long absence but, ever since Hot Shots!, it's hard to take Sheen seriously as an action hero, and the film lacks premier-league baddies.

    Run of the mill action / adventure

    Nothing to write home about, relatively enjoyable, wouldn't bother watching it again

    Not too bad

    Not too bad a movie, would not watch it twice though. The action was good but the story line was crap. Charlie Sheen was not at his best. My Husband said it was very good, he loved it so it might be one for the men and not the ladies. So for him it was not a complete waste of time, I have seen worse movies.
