Escala Suicida

Wow, what an incredible action adventure disaster film! The film has three very definite acts: the first is the introduction of the characters, and is interesting in its own right as we get to know the very likable characters. The second act is just complete mayhem. My goodness, it was awesome, as the film took us on a very unexpected turn. There are earthquakes, a volcanic eruption, incredible destruction scenes, runways collapsing, people running for their lives! The third is essentially a rescue operation, as the crew and passengers must overcome obstacle upon obstacle in mid-air between two aircraft. Wow, wow, wow, if you're a disaster movie fan and not entertained by this, I honestly don't know what would!

Ok this filmed is filled with Cliché characters, bad dubbing and rather unrealistic . But if you can get passed all that, and understand this is a foreign made film streaming on Netflix and keep your expectations accordingly. When the action finally starts ramping up. It's a fun, exciting, on the edge of your seat action film. I actually enjoyed it.

I must say I quite enjoyed this film .. although the English dubbing left a lot to be desired .. I think subtitles would have been better ....... lot's of good effects and some quite good 'edge of your seat' moments.

This movie was a surprise for me. I knew that Russian cinema is good, but I have never seen a Russian movie with complicated special effects, and I was very pleasantly surprised. Without going into the details of the plot, this is a movie that has a mix of issues that are usually dealt with separately, and here they are interconnected. A love relationship, two separate son-father relationships (between Alex, the main character and his father, as well as between Alex's boss and his son), adventure and even satire on the way workplace relationships are handled in Russia, as well as a basic human desire to help fellow humans and be brave, all are smartly combined to produce a very satisfying movie that keeps you in continuous suspense. The special effects are impressive and would not shame a Hollywood movie. Highly recommended.

Awesome movie ....a salute to the director of this movie....never ending thrill and adventure is there in this movie...team work and dedication can do anything .... brilliant direction and visual effects....must watch an awesome movie
