| About.comFred TopelFun action movie if you forgive the total silliness. |
| Independent on SundayRyan GilbeyAs a wise-cracking sky-diving instructor, Charlie Sheen wears his usual look of someone who has just been asked a really difficult question (like: how come your career has lasted this long?). |
| Suite101.comNick RogersA brisk, sleek wrong-man story that's easily the better of 1994's dueling skydiver movies and, had a darker Charlie Sheen from another universe not swapped places with our own, might have made the actor Kurt Russell's action-movie heir apparent. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelSome of the comic writing undercuts the preposterous story. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattA formula thriller with a skydiving theme, there is not a single plot turn that can hold up under close examination, but if you let the movie breeze by, untethered by common sense or logic, it can be an enjoyable experience. |
| User ReviewRohan GThis is a rush... Just watch this classic...Sit back and enjoy!!! |
| User ReviewHaley TI don't even know why i love this movie so much. Maybe its because he's totally clutch and gets the girl out of the trunk of a car IN MID AIR? That couuld be it.. |
| User ReviewAndy H5 stars purely because of Charlie Sheen. Oh, and over the top action sequences. Awesome one-liners. The film rules. I raise my middle finger to the naysayers. |
| User ReviewStuart JNow this is sheer shitastic , loved it , great dialogue, barrels along at a good old pace, pulls it's chute just short of impacting in a bloody twisted mess, even Charlie Sheen is quite watchable. |
| User ReviewPhilip RThis is one of those movies I grew up watching since I was seven years old and I would consider this film as one of those action movies that are entertaining to watch about a daredevil maverick skydiver name Richard â??Ditchâ?? Brodie (Charlie Sheen), who takes a skydiving instruction for a beautiful new client name Chris Morrow (Nastassja Kinski), who apparently dies from her first jump. Ditch discovers that Morrow faked her own death and is really a Russian spy.The two unlikely team up to stop a mafia of Russian criminals from stealing a shipment of Russian gold. Sheen had some funny moments during the film. Like for example: seeing his 1970 white Dodge Charger being totally shot by the bad guys was hilarious. For the filmâ??s cast: Christopher McDonald (Happy Gilmore) plays an aggressive, blonde haired Russian who loves his 1993 red Cadillac Allanté. And James Gandolfini, in one of his earlier roles, plays an interesting performance as a seemingly mild-mannered deputy district attorney from Tucson, Arizona. The first time I saw this movie, I had no idea that was Gandolfini till later over years I would hear about him in The Sopranos. This movie has two incredible action sequences, like when Sheen and Kinski ride a 350 mile per hour jet engine thru the desert and when Sheen drives McDonaldâ??s car out of a plane while itâ??s in the air. I can still remember watching a behind the scenes glimpse on how they shot the car jump sequence by using 23 of the same Cadillac Allantés and completely destroyed nine of them. With incredible action sequences, from either the sky or the ground, TERMINAL VELOCITY is one of those action movies (from the 90's) that are entertaining to watch. |
