Turbulence 2: Miedo a volar

Freefall is a typical disaster movie, but it was nice to watch. The special effects were somewhat "cheesy" but worked. The best performance came from Scott Wentworth as the hard-working agent. He is also reunited here with former co-star Kate Trotter, as well as Michael Sloan.

Jaclyn Smith plays Renee Brennan with confidence and accuracy. We get to see a day in the life of a NTSB crash investigator. The conflict between Boxleitner and Smith does depict some realism with respect to the FAA-NTSB relationship. Although this film never reaches any emotional depths, people who investigate these types of airline disasters often have to put their emotions on the backburner anyway. Much of the plot of this movie was predictable, but all in all, I enjoyed watching it. Perhaps the most pleasant surprise was the superb acting of the young Hayden Christensen (Patrick). If you like airline disaster movies, this one is worth seeing.

Jaclyn Smith, expert in air disasters, investigates on one series of extremely suspect crashes.

A television film - disaster which does not succeed in arousing the slightest cold sweat. The game of the actors is also little exciting as the scenario.

I think "Freefall" was a good TV movie, I am glad however that they did not take it to the big screen, it's a story best left for the small screen. I thought the story was good and Jaclyn Smith gave a convincing performance as a NTSB inspector. Bruce Boxleitner, on the other hand, was a tad over the top and seemed like this was a freshman effort for him. The psycho of the film was believable and was a well rounded character. I actually felt a little sorrow for him. The effects were a bit shoddy, but hey, it's tv and doesn't have this big blockbuster budget. I would enjoy seeing this again and would recommend this film to people.

Freefall was an outstanding made for television action movie. Smith and Boxleitter were the credited big names in the movie but up and coming future star Richard Anselmo stole the show as the sheriff. His excellent performance should garner him a Cable Ace Award. Ms. Smith once again broadened her acting abilities by once again putting in an outstanding performance. In conclusion, Freefall was an action packed made for TV movie that would have done quite well on the big screen already!
