"The Fall", a technically and artistically okay flick filmed in Budapest, tells of a frustrated American writer (Scheffer) who finds himself involved in drama and intrigue when his flat is invaded by a beautiful woman on the run (de Fougerolles). A flawed screenplay with a thin story which doggedly wrestles with its own flimsy plot, "The Fall" makes for the kind of monotonous watch which is most likely to be enjoyed on late night tv when the picking is slim.
