a5c7b9f00b Ditch Brodie is a maverick skydiving instructor. One day, a beautiful girl comes in, wanting to take her first jump. Up in the air, Ditch takes his eyes off her momentarily, then looks back to find out that she has fallen out, dying on impact. Ditch is suspicious that all is notit seems, because he distinctly remembers hooking her static line on… A maverick skydiver and a former KGB agent team up to stop the Russian mafia from stealing gold. As a watcher of action movies in excess, Terminal Velocity, isn't too bad, in fact it's really good. However, I must be blunt. This movie is really for people who are not desensitized to graphic violence. But, it is enjoyable filled with mystery and intrigue (even though it's obvious Natassja's Chris Morrow doesn't fall to her death). I must also comment on Charlie Sheen's average attempt to provide funny sarcasm. He tries really hard but maybe he's the miscast of the film. Judge for yourself I can't say I'm too surprised that Terminal Velocity gets such a low IMDb overall rating and was a box office loss, making just $17 million dollars, $33 million short of its budget, but that's a bit misleading: it's not exactly bad, it's just that it isn't very good. It is something of a curio. It many different ways, not least the toe-curling 'macho' dialogue, it seems more like a refugee from a cheesy Seventies TV series than a Hollywood film. Why it was made I really couldn't guess. It would be entertaining enough if you have enough beer and chips handy and an evening to kill - and you're not to choosy - but don't bother going out of your way to see it. Win some, lose some, I suppose.
