It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Excellent but underrated film

As Good As It Gets

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Well. This movie was a waste of my time, even though I didn't had anything to do anyway when I saw it. Yet I watched it until the end so there has to be some good that goes with all the bad.The good: The skydive scenes were at times very decent, and that has to be the sole reason for me watching this through. Nice, colorful images and even though I'm no sportsman myself I think some parachute enthusiasts might be somewhat pleased with it.The bad: About everything else I guess. The story is a straight ripoff from Dropzone without adding anything new at all (it actually makes it even worse), which shows to me that the director didn't really want to tell a story anyway. Next there is bad acting, shallow characters, annoying music and some nice faces to attempt to make up for it. But it just won't do.Watch this if you really have to, but I say you don't.

An odd mix between undercover-cop-infiltrating-the-bad-guys and sports-movies! It does have a likeable cast and some terrific skydiving-scenes (the lead actors obviously jumped in real life). But what really makes it entertaining enough to sit through is the flamboyant performance of good old Tom Berenger, reminding us of what once made him one of the finest actors on-screen. Here he really is half the show in a 9 million dollar production that looks like 20 million.

This movie is a head rush. From the beginning scene to very end, the action is out of sight. The plot is basic, but still gets the point across. I loved watching how people trained to perfect their sport. I have been skydiving a few times and this movie sent chills up and down my spine. This movie is a worth see movie and if you don't feel like skydiving after seeing this movie, you'd better check your pulse to see if you are still living!

I was wondering when the camera would 'cutaway' from all the skydiving here & give us some actors in their acting mode!! Whew!! So much for dizzying heights!! I've had enough!Movie Point: Don't 'cutaway' your fomer life to engage in death-defying stunts just for the thrill of it. You'll either break the law or end up dead. RedLine (the ever-interesting Tom Berenger) does both. So does Turbo (the ever-weird Dennis Rodman). This was really Stephen Baldwin's film. He had the most screen time although Tom Berenger has top billing. Baldwin's FBI infiltrating the world of skydiving so he can nab Berenger selling drugs to keep his head in the clouds, sorta speak. The two become 'air buds' before Berenger cuts loose from his parachute & purposely falls to his death as Baldwin reads him his rites in the air. If you're a Berenger fan, keep watching him here. He needs to lose the earring but I think he has it just to endear him to the younger crowd he's mentoring. He's a no-nonsense skydiving teacher!
