JAKARTA - Stories about friendship are often synonymous with sweet teenage lives or stories that turn into romance. Fall from director Scott Mann chose to swerve with a thriller premise.
Fall tells the story of Hunter (Virginia Gardner) and Becky (Grace Carolina Currey) who have been friends for a long time. Becky, who is married to Dan (Mason Gooding) lives an extraordinary life.
These three friends love rock climbing. However, everything changed when Dan died when he fell from a high cliff that the three of them climbed. The incident traumatized Becky and closed herself off.
A year passed, Hunter asked Becky to rise from the sadness. No half-hearted, Hunter invites Becky to climb the radio tower B-67 TV Tower with a height of 2,000 feet.
Hunter wants Becky to find the zest for life while pouring Dan's ashes on top of the tower. The plan went smoothly until a situation left them trapped in the tower for several days.
Fall rolls slowly. From the beginning the story focuses on Becky and Hunter's friendship. The chemistry also made their journey up the TV tower run smoothly.
The tension that was built from the start was combined with careless moments that made the audience furious. Not to mention it's a typical movie where there are multiple omens all around them.
When they reached the top of the TV tower, a thrilling scene began to occur. Those of you who have acrophobia (fear of heights) may not be comfortable watching this film.
Full of suspense, the story develops from friendship alone but their psychological side is also tested. The plot twists are also unexpected and keep you from looking away.
Although the story is fun, unfortunately the CGI effects are lacking and the music is also not very supportive of the story.
Fall is not the best film, but the director managed to provide multiple tensions and surprising plot twists. This allows the audience to understand the shortcomings of the film.
