Even with it's many flaws, it makes a viewers hands and feet sweat profusely. The great cover art tells you exactly what to expect.

In my mind, the max that this kind of movie can attain is an 8/10. A movie where one is essentially stuck in one position for the majority of the film. The two that come to mind that did it best are '127 Hours' and 'The Shallows'.

Abundant issues arise from the lack of simple preparation for such a complex stunt. And then pretty much just the normal stuff that makes you call characters dumb or annoying in a movie like this. And that phone apparently has an eternal battery.

I had an early theory of taking out the red light so that it would be noticed and get replaced as soon as possible, but that didn't come to fruition. Thought it was a sure thing with what I believed to be a foreshadowing moment when they say it's there so planes don't hit the tower. Guess that would have been too easy.

The movie is also a case and point why I don't like social media "influencers".

I watched Fall and immediately came to IMDB to see whether was as annoyed by the ending as I was, but no... nobody seemed to notice???? I found this movie to be quite enjoyable and there was genuine suspense even though some of the girls actions were questionable. The ending is a complete con though and it left me utterly frustrated. The whole point of watching to the end was to find out whether they manage to get down, and if so, how? We already know a massive section of the ladder had fell away from the tower which was one of the key plot points much earlier in the film. The end scene shows Becky sitting at the bottom safe and sound. I'd love to know how she made it down? Helicopter would have blown her off and there was a huge antenna in the way? Crane? Would have needed to be a big one? Nonsense and I feel conned.

If this movie does one thing well, it's building tension. There was times I was on the edge of my seat, clinched and sweaty, just imagining being up on that tower myself.

This is far from a, what I would call, a "critically good" movie. The visuals aren't top notch, especially in the beginning, but becomes more forgivable after the first scene, some of the dialogue and actions of the characters might make you scratch your head, and there are some major plot points that some might find to be predictable. The ending does feel pretty abrupt and I feel like we missed a couple good scenes on the cutting room floor in favor of run time.

All that being said, if you're a huge fan of survival thriller movies in the vein of 47 Meters Down, Frozen, etc. You would certainly have a good time with this flick. It does an excellent job of keeping you on edge throughout the whole movie, which is quite a feat, and something I haven't felt in a theater in awhile. It certainly has its flaws but it entertains remarkably well.
