One Fall


Not a major motion picture.  More like a made for TV movie for Lifetime or ABC Family...

What I liked:
  • Lots of love for Ohio!
  • Funny conversations about super heroes.
  • A Doogie Howser ringtone!
What I didn't like:
  • The concept of the story was ok but the execution was bad.
  • Lots of inconsistencies:
    • Bond gets into a fight and has facial wounds that are suppose to heal pretty quickly however from scene to scene; they go from bad to worse to good to bad again.
    • Julie is seen wearing a pink/peach blazer early in the film then again later in the film as if the scenes were filmed on the same day but used in the movie at different times.
  • What's with Julie swimming naked?  The first time that we see this, it is randomly sliced into the film.  When we see this a second time it makes a little more sense but still feels out of place in the film.  Overall it seems like a cheap trick to say that there is nudity in the film.
  • The special effects in the opening credits were cool but the special effects for Bond's flashbacks to the fall and his bloody hand were not.
Grade: D+
