When Becky and Hunter begin their actual ascent, Mann has his firmest grip on the movie, building tension in a way that can be pretty effective.Īnd then “Fall” stalls again. ![]() In fact, there’s a better version of the film that starts right with the climb, allowing the characters’ trauma to arise through their conversations on the way up instead of with a horrendous set-up act that’s filled with clichés and poor filmmaking (it also would have helped reduce the runtime on a 107-minute movie that should be closer to 87).

Becky ( Grace Caroline Currey), husband Dan ( Mason Gooding), and Becky’s BFF Hunter ( Virginia Gardner) are climbing a sheer mountain face in the opening scene when tragedy strikes and Dan plummets to the ground below. ![]()
