Crashs en série

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.

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!

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.

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.

I´m a great fan of films where planes are in trouble. I used to be afraid of flying, but by seeing movies like this my knowledge of how planes work has increased and now I really enjoy flying myself. Does this sound strange? Maybe, but knowledge always helps! This film differs from all other films I´ve seen in this genre. A surviving husband of a killed jet airliner pilot (who got the blame for the crash)becomes obsessed and gets his revenge by making other planes crash in the same way as his wife´s plane. A female investigator becomes his main target and she soon realizes that a terrorist is threatening an airline company and all their planes. But the boss wants to fly on and earn more money. And soon another plane crashes. Good tempo, good crash scenes and quite thrilling all the time. I give it 8/10.
