A sound tele-movie

Free Fall details the story of a woman who becomes victim to a deranged psychopath intent on destroying the airline industry. It may sound a bit pessimistic, but the suspense and dialogue make it all work quite well.

It's a fast-paced tele-film that may have been done hundreds of times before, but the antics of the characters seem to heighten the tension involved and make the viewer actually want to stick with it and see what happens. Jaclyn Smith gives out a watchable and confident performance as Renee in a film that contains surprisingly taut action packed sequences in which fans of disaster movies and such should enjoy. 7/10
