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.
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.
I thought this was a great movie if I could buy it I would. I thought this was a great part for Scot Wentworht. I went for going cold turkey not getting to watch him in Kung fu anymore to this wonderful piece of storytelling. The fact that the actress who played Karen Simms (also from Kung Fu) was a great addition. I wish TV would play this movie more often. Not a lot of actors play a similar character that they've played for a few years on a TV show which I think is a shame. Most actors go from playing a good guy straight into a bad guy role. I'm glad that he played a good guy in this movie. I wish people would make more good guy movies like they did in the old days. No one makes movies like John wayne or Jimmy Stewart did. Someone needs to take the time to make a couple and I think Hollywood would get the idea that they would be more accepted then they think they would.
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.

This movie begs for a showing in the Satellite of Love. If I had a few clever, motivated friends nearby, and we wanted to spend a raucous evening playing Mike and the Bots, this is the movie I would pick, hands down, bar none. Liquid cheese oozes from every line of dialog, every absurd plot development, and especially from the "If Ed Wood had had CGI instead of models" special effects. This is literally one of those movies that's so bad, it's actually entertaining.
