I was surprised how much I enjoyed this {probably} unfairly overlooked film. See it at the cinema if possible as It will lose much of it's force on the small screen.

One of the most agonizing movies you'll ever watch

"Life is already too short... why not risk shortening it even more?"

I believe Hunter, one of the protagonists, would say something like that. The likes hunter was willing to do crazy things to get records that would make her famous and rich on the internet. Besides, of course, helping her friend get out of the hellish limbo she was living in. And off they went, Hunter and her friend Beck on their adventure that - at some point - would surely go wrong.

If you are one of those acrophobic people who feel butterflies in your stomach when looking from the top of the building... "Fall" is for you! The feeling of agony and anxiety grips you at every moment during the film.

For a low-budget movie, this was fantastic. With 3 million USD they did what some studios would only do with a few tens of millions.

The writing was fluid and engaging with the plot and character development, which helped a lot in the suspense scenes. Despite how unreal it is, the already predictable twists and the goofs committed, still, Scott Mann managed a great feat.

The negative part was the lack of research to corroborate the technical points addressed during the film. Making even the layman wonder things like that, why they didn't go down in "lineman's pole style". It's such an obvious solution, but not for two experienced climbers.

Some took details like this to say how stupid and time-wasting the movie was. But I say it's just one of those movies you watch on a boring Sunday afternoon, no big deal. Even because the budget for that was ridiculously tight. I have no problems with that. It was worth the time spent!

At first I thought this will be too dumb and silly of a movie (judging by trailer), but in end it actually was quite good. It had its silly moments still, but overall was quite enjoyable.

The movie is genuinely quite tense and thrilling, with some impressive camera shots. It does unfortunately have clumsy dialogue, weak acting, dumb melodrama and a very predictable plot.

The moral of the story: Get better friends that are not Hunter...

As cenas iniciais já dão o tom do filme, com uma morte importante acontecendo decorrida da escalada e, com isso, as personagens precisam se livrar do peso e da culpa do passado quando, após decorridas 51 semanas, resolvem fazer uma nova aventura.
Alguns pontos importantes mantem o interesse do filme até o final, como por exemplo a atuação das meninas e a direção, bem como a trilha sonora, sempre muito competentes em utilizar uma boa dinâmica na câmera e passando a sensação de real perigo. Quem sofre de acrofobia pode ter problemas com esse filme. Há também elementos importantes na história, como a relação com o pai, o triângulo amoroso, que não interfere em nada, uma vez que aqui são pra segundo plano e dão um peso maior ao objetivo, a tensão tomou conta do filme de forma geral, mostrando que o roteiro optou mesmo por mostrar a luta pela sobrevivência, e que bom.
Claro que algumas soluções são questionáveis, mas particularmente gostei do plot da alucinação (não entrarei em detalhes para não dar spoiler).
Porém, o final ficou carregado na pieguice, e ainda por cima passa a mensagem errada, quando o correto seria acentuar a prudência e não a estupidez humana, porque pensando bem, elaas foram muito estúpidas em tentar escalar a torre e ainda sem contar com um suporte de terceiros. É o típico filme que abraça a mensagem egocêntrica dos coachings da vida, e o fez de forma bem cafona, podendo deixar para o espectador as lições de todo aquele drama visto. Mas de todo o modo, a experiência valeu muito, é um filme que prende e muito bem feito. Vale a sessão.

Fall is an edge of your seat, survival-thriller about two girls getting stuck at the top of a radio tower with no way down.

The lead performances from the two young women marooned on the tower were excellent. I cared about them, and perhaps you will too, with just enough family ties not to make the film too saccharin. The bird wranglers deserve an Oscar nomination for getting performances right up there with “The Birds” in Hitchcock’s famous film. Expand

While some 'suspension of disbelief'is necessary it doesn't detract from what is a taught edge of your seat survival thriller. Recommended.

It worked for me because I was concentrated, so I learnt everything about the environment. It also worked because our characters are professional climbers, and they rarely make foolish decisions for the sake of suspense. Those are generated from the technical work, fueled by a plausible storyline. Fall doesn't reach the top of survival thrillers, but it stands on its own as a quite terrifying and impressive piece of work. Expand

- عجبني جداً موقف الفيلم من "هانتر" .. وطريقة حكمه عليها .. وامتع اللحظات في الفيلم هي الحوار بينهم عن طبيعة شغلها وتأثيره عليه وتغيرها الحاد بسببه .. ورسالة الفيلم الموجهة لكل اللي بيشتغلوا شغلها في الحقيقة ظ. وان كان ده مكرر ولكن تم تسكينه في الفيلم بإبداع - النص التاني من الفيلم هو الأكثر هدوئاً ومسرح الأحداث صغر لدرجة إنه بقا البطلتين بيتحركوا في مساحة أقل من اتنين متر تقريباً ولكن الأحداث فضلت منعشة وفضل الفيلم عنده كتير يكشفه ويفاجئنا لحد النهاية .. إستغلال الفيلم للمكان وحالته المتهالكة بكل الطرق والأصوات والبيئة المحيطة والمناخ واستغلال كل ماهو ممكن تخيله في صحرا في موقفهم من أجل صناعة حدث يحسسك بإن كرسيك اللي بتتفرج عليه مش أمن في بعض الأوقات .. مظنش إن أي حد هيتفرج هيقول إن الفيلم كان ممكن يعمل اي حاجة تانية .. ومعنديش تعليق غير سوء الحظ والصدفة الملائمة أوي .. بس برضو ده حصل مع مكافئات بعديه تنسيك أي حاجة .. فيلم fall ممتع جداً وذكي وعيوبه تكاد متتشافش بسبب مميزاته ومساحات ابداعه ومتاح طبعاً للمشاهدة العائلية مع التنبيه إن فعلاً أي حد بيخاف من المرتفعات ميشوفهوش

Sacrificed the first 3rd of the movie for some obvious and bad setup to just completely rush a 10 minute 3rd act. I don't like heights so it was moderately sweaty palms.

Limited but thrilling adventure horror. The two leads are passable at best but nevertheless the movie is a nail biting experience throughout. The script is incredibly weak with an unbelievable dialogue and empty characterisations.

The film isn't bad, but the plot is just so dumb. Like, no one would be that stupid to climb a rusting 2000ft tower in the middle of nowhere. The acting was good, but the film got boring quite quickly.
Also, danger D, was such a b*tch to Becky.
