...and since it's the by the same dude who did "Sharks & Mandy Moore," it OBVIOUSLY has to have 50% OF this pair of dummies DIE- in a flashback cut scene, of COURSE, but to change it up a little, we'll just make THAT shizz happen earlier in the movie. AND to REALLLLLY hammer it home to ppl that these two dummies were legit willing to do ANYTHING for each other: risk their lives- wait, no, really- literally, she's DEAD?! OK! Well, I mean, even in DEATH, they're totes willing to help each other out- like, "No, really, I mean it, bitch! Take a hint from the terrorists who stitch up bombs inside of their OWN people's dead bodies & stuff that cell phone inside my vulture-pecked guts & shove my corpse off this tower, cuz that's what besties are fooooooor!!!" That's seriously gotta be pretty much on the same level as "Eat my corpse once I die, I love director as that Or even the classic zombie movie "Repeatedly smash my face in with a sledgehammer because u were too much of a wimp to just finish me off with a simple bullet to the brain an HOUR ago when I first told u to kill me cuz I got chomped by a damn zombie & the gun still had plenty of ammo but now we've gots to do it the nasty way!?!"
just wanted to add a tiny correction, Hunter didn’t fall when trying to use her phone, she did actually make it safely back up after that. She fell when trying to grab the backpack that had landed on one of those “satellite” type dishes about 50 feet down. She made it down there but then when trying to come back up, that’s when she fell, landed on the dish, and bled out. Becky then pulled the backpack up the rest of the way and was alone for the third act of the film. :))
What I learnt from this movie is, that sometimes your strength is your weakness….Hunter was too strong and fearless….and it led to her death. On the other hand…sometimes being paranoid helps you by observing more. You hear every noise. Nice movies…I highly recommend it.
@@jonathanchen1026 excuse me? How can you say that when it is the mans fault entirely? She did not wreck anything, she was single and he was married. Fucking hilarious comment.
When Hunter says: you can't have the shoe..I'm not here...I'm down there. I bled out remember? That was oh my goodness! Wow. All this time talking to someone who is dead ...
I have watched several reviews, and while they were good (like this review), for some reason not one reviewer mentioned this scene with the reverence it deserves--I think it's one of the creepiest moments, genuinely chilling, in any film I've seen for a very long time. Extremely effective, haunting, and has stayed with me ever since.
OMG that backpack was KILLING me lmao. I was like PUT IT ALL THE WAY ON 🤣 this movie had my anxiety so high but I couldn't stop watching. Some scenes I was like omg imma throw up lmfao. They did a great job making you feel like you were up there with Becky and Hunter. I was like I would be wrapped around that pole all day. When they got to the first landing, I was like Ok they are crazy but when Hunter wanted to keep going, I almost passed out 🤣🤣they had SO MANY signs to turn around... the truck almost killing them and the animal being eaten but nope they kept going. I think Becky's dad just really didn't like her husband and rightfully so. You can tell her husband wasn't very loving, having been sleeping with his wifes best friend for 4 whole months before marrying her. On top of that he couldn't even tell her he loved her, he would say 143 which is what led her to find out Hunter was sleeping with him because she tatted that on her foot. I was like ok so he couldn't tell his wife he loved her and couldn't tell his side chick either and she thought it was cute enough to tat it? 🤣I was like maaaan I'd be ready to toss her off that ledge myself if that was me but I wouldn't have wanted to be up there alone but once down it would have been on lmao. I mean she was ready to kill herself over his no good ass lol. It's funny tho how she was ready to take her life before climbing this tower but thought of nothing but living once stuck up there so that was a nice touch. Hunter was fearless tho... crazy af but definitely fearless. Oh and I knew Hunter was sleeping with Becky husband when she saw a pic of her smiling big af and saw only a man hand in the pic and asked her about who it was that was making her smile so big.... I was like Oooop your husband girl 🤣I really did enjoy the movie. It takes a lot to hold anyone's attention for that long with mainly two characters for most of the movie and they accomplished that. Kind of like that movie Frozen... not the cartoon. Definitely worth the watch if y'all haven't seen it.
Not gonna lie, my dumb ass didn’t make that connection until you said it. I watched the movie on my phone so I couldn’t tell it was a man hand. Makes complete sense now though.
You both nailed this review (and all of the anxiety with this film!)- Fall was way better than expected. My favorite moment was after Becky ate the vulture and climbs down to her friend, the second vulture sees her and sort of gives her a knowing wink, like you’re the predator now! Little touches like that made this movie a definite guilty pleasure!
I loved that part but for me it was more Becky looking at the vulture like try me, you saw what I did to your friend up there. The Vulture was like iight, iight... you got it, this catch is yours 🤣🤣
There were several moments watching this that I had to pause and deep breathe. One of those moments was after yellling at Hunter about that DAMN BACKPACK STRAP OMFG. Anyways, stellar review lol.
It's basically The Descent but above ground instead of underground. Some women do something they used to do for thrills after one of them lost their husband. They get stuck. They find out the woman that talked the main character into doing said thrill slept with the dead husband. The main character makes it out while hallucinating that the woman that slept with her husband is alive when she's actually dead.
This film was made on a micro budget and used practical applications which I love! A very effective film without all the CGI, big money thrown at it and still created a very anxiety induced, and entertaining film. Kudos! Also that tower really exists in Walnut grove California.
There should have been someone they told what they were going to do....that someone could have altered the authorities when they didn't return as expected.
I agree. A 3rd person should've been at the bottom who would've been killed by the ladders crashing down. Wouldn't have been able to move out the way in time
Saw this movie this afternoon and it definitely preyed upon my fear of heights. My biggest takeaway was why they didn’t use the drone to fly the cell phone down and send their SOS message. Thought that was a pretty big plot blunder.
This movie is one big false advert on iPhones battery durability. 3 days of constant video watching, photos and social media. Phone should be the first thing that died on that tower.
It was good up until the end. How tf do they NOT show how she got down? That was the whole plot of the movie. It was a cheap cheesy ending to just show the rescue team with her on the ground. Like did they run out of budget or something? Wtf. It could've been so good.
I thought there was gonna be after credits showing Becky letting go of the rope and killing Hunter herself out of anger from Hunter sleeping with her husband
I just saw this movie this afternoon and I can’t believe nobody making the film thought it might look odd for Hunter, a professional climber, to scale this 2,000 foot tower in CHUCK TAYLORS!
Yeah, that thought occurred to me. Chuck Taylors don't have any grip. I wear Chuck's for everyday walking and there are instances where I slide all over the place.
I follow a guy on Instagram that climbs high bridges and buildings in vans. He’s literally climbed suspension bridge wires with snow on them in vans. Hunter going up a ladder in CTs is completely believable.
Another movie to add the genre of two women trapped in an uncomfortable dangerous situation where one has a secret most likely in a fair with the other person‘s boyfriend and or husband and one dies and then one starts to hallucinate the other and it’s a crazy survival story. Examples of this movie are 47 Meters Down, adrift, the descent, 12 feet, ect….
Great review. Ultimately, it’s a simple highly effective survivor film that’s prone to nitpicks. My biggest gripe is that the main girl is constantly on her phone while up there for days and it never runs out of batteries. Another issue is that when they’re up there, the wind is sometimes inaudible and it just feels like they’re in a studio with lots of green screen. Shouldn’t they be constantly shouting? The film is still too long with far too much narrative padding and a storyline that goes nowhere Also, (spoilers) I swear to god I thought that the best friend killed the husband out of jealousy and was torturing the main lady by luring her out to this tower and waiting for the best opportunity to kill her, keeping her alive only out of necessity after things went south.
Why not attach the phone to the drone and lower it to the ground? Maybe bring more rope for a 2000 ft climb? Pulleys? Idiot character drives her drone through the street. Why, after pulling/climbing hunter 5 ft from the platform, would she transfer to the ladder around the pole? Why would Becky not just move the rope to hunter when she was reaching for it? Just gotta turn your brain off for this one
I just watched it today, I was definitely on the edge on my seat, the anxiety this movie gave me was another level. Some stupid moves made but I forgave it once that reveal came. I will say there’s definitely some good life lessons in this movie.
so basically 3 dummies go rock climbing, and one dies right away. THEN two of those dummies decide to climb an old ass tower without letting anybody know,and one of them dies lol
Oddly enough, I felt extremely scared/sucked into the movie during the "climb up" portion of the movie, and nothing after that really worked 10% as well.
Safety tip: change you're voicemail before heading out to do stupid shit like this. I/we left on this day at this time, at this location. Will return your call when I/we get back. If I/we don't get back by this time/date call 911.
I'm glad to hear this is fun! I was hoping it was gonna be more horror oriented like "Frozen" (2010), it looks more cheesy than that, but I'm looking forward to a fun time anyway (heights are like my biggest fear, as well as depths)
Yay another Frozen fan! I saw this last night and I enjoyed it and felt it was done well. Definitely was a good see on the big screen movie (despite the occasional bad CGI, for the most part it was actual filmed so the visuals are dizzying).
For a movie with about a $3 million budget, the CGI in this wasn’t too bad. I was worried at the start of the movie since the green screening was a little too obvious, but towards the middle of the movie, the CGI was the least of my worries. I was clenching my seat the whole time. Truly a great movie!
Seriously, I saw two short previews for this in the last couple hours for the first time ever and I don't know if it's just because I am terrified of heights personally (or, as probably anyone who has this fear will tell you it's not exactly the heights that gets you it's the fear of falling from such heights and splatting like a freaking bug?) And all I can think- and the entire hour and 28 minutes afterwards leading me to this very moment in time is simply: "WHY in the hell would anyone DO this?!" So I figured I needed to go online and figure out like the synopsis, like maybe it was part of some sort of, I dunno, ULTIMATE Geo Cache or Amazing Race type of... Oh hell I don't know! That's the whole point I'm trying to make why would anyone do this for any reason like I get it they're trying to get over this chick's newfound fear of heights after her husband fell from a freaking mountain and died or whatever but why don't you go climb something that's NOT idiot nearly half mile tall tetanus riddled death trap with literally zero haha safety net of any kind I mean that like metaphorically of course though like as in no cell phone service no safety crew, no "oh shit something horrible happened and now we're going to die like plan B" here?! REALLY?! REALLLLLY?! mmmkay welp yes I guess so, this does REALLY sound like a great way to get over your fear... DYING. Fear✓
Other than the dozens of times the characters are saying “friggen,” you’d never know this was PG-13, the film gets away with a decent amount of gore, but it’s never gratuitous (obviously).
Love this review! I think what annoyed me the most was…… spoiler alert the Hunter twist was copied right out of 47 Metres Down (I mean not surprised it was done by the some producers) but I was like ah seriously this has been done before.
Nice review 🌟 I guess next they'll make a movie where two women get stuck in a highway tunnel as they already covered the bottom of the ocean and way up in the air. Now it's time to get stuck in the middle 👍🏾
if they just wrapped their hands and feet using the rope to be able to fully wrap their hands around the pole and grasp it and just slide down the movie would've been finished in half an hour am i right?
Yeah, this movie had me enraptured. I wanted to see how Becky gets rescued. I imagined a helicopter rescue where the rescuer is connected to a rope with a retractor and then lowers himself to Becky and puts a harness on her. Then the crew in the helicopter could retract the rope and put Becky in the helicopter then the rescuer.
I agree with you both. This held my attention and was super tense, even if some was a bit ridiculous and unrealistic! I thought both of the actresses were decent (and better than I’d expect in this type of movie) too.
I didn't "watch" this movie - I survived it. White knuckled it and sweat buckets the entire way. This film is not for the faint heart by any stretch of the imagination. Are there issues with the plot and characters? Maybe. But my anxiety overrode any such issues until well after the movie ended. BTW, they're planning on doing another one!
Yo you guys are my absolute favorite review channel and I'm excited when I see a movie reviewed by y'all! One thing I don't see discussed is Hunters spider tattoo on her forearm. I thought there was something to that because the dude in the beginning died because of that spider that popped out of nowhere which made him fall. When I saw hunters spider tattoo, I thought she somehow killed him on purpose, which wasn't the case. I really thought there was something behind the spider symbolism.
Thanks for the review guys! I thought overall the movie was very well acted and extremely tense. I was a wreck. I was a little let down at the ending. I wanted to see how first responders actually got her down off of the tower, but no such luck. But overall, a well executed movie.
Similar, as in, the exact opposite but exactly the same: desert vs ocean, 609m above the ground vs 47m underwater, and gravity is the shark. Still looks like a fun film!
Yes! Waiting! Guessing this could "fall" flat *if* same event is told from different perspectives? :D Should anyone with acrophobia *and* vertigo combined be cautioned beforehand? Nice, Podcast #68 - Bette Davis was *the star* of that movie too - the daughter and husband were sub-plots! LOL!
Lmao I too really liked the ending song even tho it's not my usual type of music. I think I was just too proud of Becky and wanted to sit in her triumphant anthem a lil idk
I noticed after she throws the shoe down the first time and when she goes to get the bag her shoe was back on and then gone again. And can’t you call emergency services with no service? Or is that just an Australian thing? Anyways good review fellas 🙌🏻
Just finished it... Survival of the fittest for frfr I was wondering where they were taking it but it made sense at the end how they tied it all together pretty entertaining to say the least. Who wrote this?? Lol
this movie is such a BLAST! it gripped me hard from the opening scene & never let go. throughout, i was holding my breath, screaming & shouting, grabbing at my face, clawing through my hair, holding my knees to my chest... i even got emotional at times! this movie is such a thrilling & suspenseful ride & the tension never lets up. i can’t recommend it enough! 💯
i really did! 🤣 my buddy that went with me was affected the same way, he was just as jumpy & freaked out. it really sucked us in. maybe you just weren’t as into it?
I loved the movie. Everything is telegraphed and used. Nothing wasted, not even the truck. That's excellent writing. No deus ex machinas here. I was worried about the drone but we saw what happened with that. The movie always seemed to be one step ahead. Plus, I found it incredibly emotional. I shed tears more than once. Her final message to her dad really hit me.
I just watched this movie yesterday. My feet and my palms were literally sweating the entire time!! So much anxiety watching this. I don't mind Rollercoasters but straight up and down rides? NOPE. Not for me. I was shaking when the camera would show the look down from that tower. No thanks lol. But it was a great film!!
The fact that hunter is a professional rock climber and didn’t clip herself back into the carabiner drove me crazy after she asked Becky to pull her up
*I know it’s a movie, but the entire time I couldn’t help but think two things. ONE; these women are ultimate clout chasing maniacs. TWO; they didn’t see how raggedy and old the ladder on the tower was?
Why is there no spokes or rungs upto the bulb on top, how was the light changed. When the ladder broke it should have stopped at the sat. dishes as they were not connected. You can see the ladder still there when hunter goes down for the backpack.
If the have phone reception at the base of the tower then there would be absolutely no issue with reception at the top (it would actually be stronger). It’s a massive plot hole that ruined the whole movie. I know this because I do lots of flying in remote areas. It’s terrain that blocks reception. I’m 100% certain of this. Especially bellow 10,000ft
A few things annoyed me about this; -(Of course telling the dad where they are and there is no movie, but...) -They could have lashed the phone to the drone. -She didn't need to climb back up from the dish.
I loved this movie! It was a true thrill ride. But I do have to ask why neither of them told ANYONE where they were going? That was so stupid. However, climbing that rickety old tower was stupid to begin with.
I say Hunter never existed. She isn't in the opening scenes until they acknowledge her before he falls. Look at the opening drone scenes. She's not there
"These two dummies climb that tower and get stuck" should be the tagline for this movie
And…. They…. Fa-
...and since it's the by the same dude who did "Sharks & Mandy Moore," it OBVIOUSLY has to have 50% OF this pair of dummies DIE- in a flashback cut scene, of COURSE, but to change it up a little, we'll just make THAT shizz happen earlier in the movie.

That's seriously gotta be pretty much on the same level as "Eat my corpse once I die, I love director as that Or even the classic zombie movie "Repeatedly smash my face in with a sledgehammer because u were too much of a wimp to just finish me off with a simple bullet to the brain an HOUR ago when I first told u to kill me cuz I got chomped by a damn zombie & the gun still had plenty of ammo but now we've gots to do it the nasty way!?!"

“…that Zac Efron movie about gold. What’s it called?”
“Gold”
I fell out 😂😂😂
Reminds me of that old Barry Levinson movie "Avalon" (1990) 'What's that movie with John Wayne and John Carradine, with the stagecoach?' "Stagecoach"
💯😂😂😂
When Hunter says: you can't have the shoe..I'm not here...I'm down there. I bled out remember? That was oh my goodness! Wow. All this time talking to someone who is dead ...

Like Adrift, 37 Meters Down, Call of Duty Black.Ops...
Hunter having the backpack over one shoulder was SO annoying!!
I was waiting for her to accidentally drop it and have Becky get mad at her
Backpack over one shoulder and a pair of converse sneakers, istg they got her dressed like shes going to a festival or something
That scene where the ladder falls.. oh my god, that made me so fucking anxious.
Nothing scares me like heights. I get sick just watching rock climbing, so this sounds like a right horror film for me.
You might not be able to finish the film. I'm not scared of heights and had to look away more than a few times lol.
Facts 💯
Yeah heights is a Mfer. I hate them
Right. Under no circumstances would I have been up there.
OMG that backpack was KILLING me lmao. I was like PUT IT ALL THE WAY ON 🤣 this movie had my anxiety so high but I couldn't stop watching. Some scenes I was like omg imma throw up lmfao.

“That film with Zac Efron and the gold- what’s it called?”
“Gold”
I cackled!!
be sure to check out how it was made.
they did their own stunts and worked on a model of the tower ONLY 100 feet tall. pretty brave.
It's basically The Descent but above ground instead of underground. Some women do something they used to do for thrills after one of them lost their husband. They get stuck. They find out the woman that talked the main character into doing said thrill slept with the dead husband. The main character makes it out while hallucinating that the woman that slept with her husband is alive when she's actually dead.
Love y’all’s guys reviews the way y’all play off each other is great so much chemistry
This film was made on a micro budget and used practical applications which I love! A very effective film without all the CGI, big money thrown at it and still created a very anxiety induced, and entertaining film. Kudos! Also that tower really exists in Walnut grove California.
Did you miss the cgi backpack on her back
They should have brought a 3rd person to capture the moment from the ground. That 3rd person could have saved them.
I said the same thing also get a rich friend with a 🚁
But then there wouldnt have been a movie to be filmed 😅
The 3rd person would have been me cause ain't no way boy 🤣 I wouldn't have climbed that tower for a butt load of money.
There should have been someone they told what they were going to do....that someone could have altered the authorities when they didn't return as expected.
I agree. A 3rd person should've been at the bottom who would've been killed by the ladders crashing down. Wouldn't have been able to move out the way in time
If you have a friend like Hunter, you won’t need enemies.
She's a phoney
Saw this movie this afternoon and it definitely preyed upon my fear of heights. My biggest takeaway was why they didn’t use the drone to fly the cell phone down and send their SOS message. Thought that was a pretty big plot blunder.
Yeah, big miss! But in high stress situations, it can be hard to think of everything.
@@rainbownote6881 coworker suggested they should have brought parachutes.
Lol
Damn I didn't even think about that lol
@@davidpiersall1727 yeah, that would have been a major fail safe!
At that point they had only one phone, and they couldn't drive the drone without it

2,000 fit!!. That’s a step ladder compared to the glass bridge in China. 🤣

Examples of this movie are 47 Meters Down, adrift, the descent, 12 feet, ect….
I thought of the descent too
Omg it’s the same as descent ur right
Great review. Ultimately, it’s a simple highly effective survivor film that’s prone to nitpicks.

It had me so anxious. Like why they not tie themselves to the pole while sleeping??.. and I need a battery like hers that lasts 3 days!! Lol
Yes just what I thought even at night they just sat with there legs hanging over and hardly held the pole while standing up.
so basically 3 dummies go rock climbing, and one dies right away. THEN two of those dummies decide to climb an old ass tower without letting anybody know,and one of them dies lol
I have to see 47 meters down now! I just saw this one and loved it though my hands and feet were clammy the whole time for real.

It’s really similar to Frozen, although not quite as graphic. It would make a great double feature!
For a movie with about a $3 million budget, the CGI in this wasn’t too bad. I was worried at the start of the movie since the green screening was a little too obvious, but towards the middle of the movie, the CGI was the least of my worries. I was clenching my seat the whole time. Truly a great movie!
It was a real tower and the girls did their own stunts
Seriously, I saw two short previews for this in the last couple hours for the first time ever and I don't know if it's just because I am terrified of heights personally (or, as probably anyone who has this fear will tell you it's not exactly the heights that gets you it's the fear of falling from such heights and splatting like a freaking bug?)
And all I can think- and the entire hour and 28 minutes afterwards leading me to this very moment in time is simply:
"WHY in the hell would anyone DO this?!"
So I figured I needed to go online and figure out like the synopsis, like maybe it was part of some sort of, I dunno, ULTIMATE Geo Cache or Amazing Race type of... Oh hell I don't know! That's the whole point I'm trying to make why would anyone do this for any reason like I get it they're trying to get over this chick's newfound fear of heights after her husband fell from a freaking mountain and died or whatever but why don't you go climb something that's NOT idiot nearly half mile tall tetanus riddled death trap with literally zero haha safety net of any kind I mean that like metaphorically of course though like as in no cell phone service no safety crew, no "oh shit something horrible happened and now we're going to die like plan B" here?! REALLY?! REALLLLLY?! mmmkay welp yes I guess so, this does REALLY sound like a great way to get over your fear...
DYING.
Fear✓
How graphic was the shoe part with hunters body? I'm curious to see the lengths they went to for this film being that it's pg13
You don’t see too much blood it just kinda slides in there
Other than the dozens of times the characters are saying “friggen,” you’d never know this was PG-13, the film gets away with a decent amount of gore, but it’s never gratuitous (obviously).
This movie was awesome but the ending was terrible - like WTF- no catharsis? They didn’t show her getting rescued???? After all of that build up????
Did anyone else find yourself with sweating palms watching this.
Love this review!
I think what annoyed me the most was…… spoiler alert the Hunter twist was copied right out of 47 Metres Down (I mean not surprised it was done by the some producers) but I was like ah seriously this has been done before.
Dammit, now you spoiled 47 Meters for me 😭
Guess no point in watching that movie now.
I’ve never seen your videos before this one but you two are amazing 😂😍 “what’s it called?…gold.” Ahahah
I am scared to death of heights , so I have zero interest in this.
But I enjoyed watching your review.
Keep up the great work!
Nice review 🌟 I guess next they'll make a movie where two women get stuck in a highway tunnel as they already covered the bottom of the ocean and way up in the air. Now it's time to get stuck in the middle 👍🏾
Well we did have that movie but it was starring Sylvester Stallone.
@@pamelalansbury94 Indeed, I meant by the same creators of this movie(Fall) and 47 Meters Down.
Lols 😂! Please don't laugh at the famous quote, "if you are afraid to die, then don't be afraid to live." I only saw the trailer, but it touched me 😂.
Thanks for summarizing this film. I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to thrillers...but this was just enough to cure my curiosity.
if they just wrapped their hands and feet using the rope to be able to fully wrap their hands around the pole and grasp it and just slide down the movie would've been finished in half an hour am i right?
Yeah, this movie had me enraptured. I wanted to see how Becky gets rescued. I imagined a helicopter rescue where the rescuer is connected to a rope with a retractor and then lowers himself to Becky and puts a harness on her. Then the crew in the helicopter could retract the rope and put Becky in the helicopter then the rescuer.
I agree with you both. This held my attention and was super tense, even if some was a bit ridiculous and unrealistic! I thought both of the actresses were decent (and better than I’d expect in this type of movie) too.
I didn't "watch" this movie - I survived it. White knuckled it and sweat buckets the entire way. This film is not for the faint heart by any stretch of the imagination. Are there issues with the plot and characters? Maybe. But my anxiety overrode any such issues until well after the movie ended. BTW, they're planning on doing another one!
Yo you guys are my absolute favorite review channel and I'm excited when I see a movie reviewed by y'all!
One thing I don't see discussed is Hunters spider tattoo on her forearm. I thought there was something to that because the dude in the beginning died because of that spider that popped out of nowhere which made him fall. When I saw hunters spider tattoo, I thought she somehow killed him on purpose, which wasn't the case. I really thought there was something behind the spider symbolism.
Thanks for the review guys! I thought overall the movie was very well acted and extremely tense. I was a wreck. I was a little let down at the ending. I wanted to see how first responders actually got her down off of the tower, but no such luck. But overall, a well executed movie.
Wow! Was not expecting 3/5 rating on this. Sounds good! Thank for the review
Glad to hear it’s entertaining! Thanks for the reviews guys! ❤️
Excellent review! I kinda wish this would be in IMAX then if height is portrayed really well. I'll definitely check it out!
Great review of a great movie with great visuals. But the ending was so rushed. What a pity.
If they bring the parachute they both still be alive
I really want to watch this, especially now! Great review as always!!!
Similar, as in, the exact opposite but exactly the same: desert vs ocean, 609m above the ground vs 47m underwater, and gravity is the shark. Still looks like a fun film!
Thank you I was thinking this the wholeeee time I watched it😄
The movie was good! Really stressful the wide shots makes the heights feel very real. Definitely sticks with you.
two gorgeous gay men talking about movies ??! found my new favourite channel x
Will u guys do review of don’t worry darling about harry styles in it and my policeman when come out soon ?
I’m sure we will.
Becky's husband, played by Mason Gooding looks like that guy in Jerry Maguire. 😂😂😂
I WAS THINKING TOO WHY HUNTER DIDN'T CATCH THE BAG,,,,,, and i know why
"Uninvited" by Alanis Morrisett is ICONIC🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yes! Waiting! Guessing this could "fall" flat *if* same event is told from different perspectives? :D Should anyone with acrophobia *and* vertigo combined be cautioned beforehand? Nice, Podcast #68 - Bette Davis was *the star* of that movie too - the daughter and husband were sub-plots! LOL!
Yes, it made me nauseous and i was sweating the entire time. But good movie!
Great review guys! Really enjoyed it!
I got sick in the stomach while watching it in the cinema, sweaty not only the palms of hands but also the feet.
Lmao I too really liked the ending song even tho it's not my usual type of music. I think I was just too proud of Becky and wanted to sit in her triumphant anthem a lil idk
I noticed after she throws the shoe down the first time and when she goes to get the bag her shoe was back on and then gone again. And can’t you call emergency services with no service? Or is that just an Australian thing? Anyways good review fellas 🙌🏻
Just finished it... Survival of the fittest for frfr I was wondering where they were taking it but it made sense at the end how they tied it all together pretty entertaining to say the least. Who wrote this?? Lol
this movie is such a BLAST! it gripped me hard from the opening scene & never let go. throughout, i was holding my breath, screaming & shouting, grabbing at my face, clawing through my hair, holding my knees to my chest... i even got emotional at times! this movie is such a thrilling & suspenseful ride & the tension never lets up. i can’t recommend it enough! 💯
Did you really do all of that 😑😑.. I do get that it's thrilling but not to that extent lady
i really did! 🤣 my buddy that went with me was affected the same way, he was just as jumpy & freaked out. it really sucked us in. maybe you just weren’t as into it?
Thanks for the review saw this one tonight and it did have some great tension filled moments
I'm one of those people that can't get close to the edge of heights because I feel like I'm gonna accidentally fall over.
I loved the movie. Everything is telegraphed and used. Nothing wasted, not even the truck. That's excellent writing. No deus ex machinas here. I was worried about the drone but we saw what happened with that. The movie always seemed to be one step ahead. Plus, I found it incredibly emotional. I shed tears more than once. Her final message to her dad really hit me.
There is no way they could sleep on that thing without falling off!😅
I just watched this movie yesterday. My feet and my palms were literally sweating the entire time!! So much anxiety watching this. I don't mind Rollercoasters but straight up and down rides? NOPE. Not for me. I was shaking when the camera would show the look down from that tower. No thanks lol. But it was a great film!!
The fact that hunter is a professional rock climber and didn’t clip herself back into the carabiner drove me crazy after she asked Becky to pull her up
Stuffing the shoe in the dead body to cushion impact..Navy Seal maneuver.
This was more scary than any movie in its own way give me sewer clowns and killer dolls any day
Fall- I wish they showed how was the recue
A helicopter picked her up i believe
*I know it’s a movie, but the entire time I couldn’t help but think two things. ONE; these women are ultimate clout chasing maniacs. TWO; they didn’t see how raggedy and old the ladder on the tower was?
No, but the father "knew" (but he didn't know) the husband. He had him nailed. That's why he said that.
Why is there no spokes or rungs upto the bulb on top, how was the light changed.
When the ladder broke it should have stopped at the sat. dishes as they were not connected. You can see the ladder still there when hunter goes down for the backpack.
when they attached the note to the drone, they should have just attached one of their phone and landed it so the text could have gone through
IT CAN'T FIT ON DRONE AND, THE DRONE WILL NOT FLY WHEN THE CONTROLLER DON'T HAVE PHONE THAT ATTACH INTO IT.
@@janranieldelacruz4547 they had two phones they could have used the rope or a shoe lace or something to attach the second phone
If the have phone reception at the base of the tower then there would be absolutely no issue with reception at the top (it would actually be stronger). It’s a massive plot hole that ruined the whole movie.
I know this because I do lots of flying in remote areas. It’s terrain that blocks reception. I’m 100% certain of this. Especially bellow 10,000ft
There was a picture on Hunter phone with a man hand on her shoulder, think it was Mr.143
Gurl I ain’t tryin have my tax dollars pay for saving some crazy people climbing towers.
A few things annoyed me about this;
-(Of course telling the dad where they are and there is no movie, but...)
-They could have lashed the phone to the drone.
-She didn't need to climb back up from the dish.
Recently discovered you guys and absolutely love your channel! 🤌🤌
the plot twist is exactly 47 meters down
This movie looks my kind of trash. I definitely have to check it out. Thanks guys.
I have a deep fear of heights too!!!
I loved this movie! It was a true thrill ride. But I do have to ask why neither of them told ANYONE where they were going? That was so stupid. However, climbing that rickety old tower was stupid to begin with.
I say Hunter never existed. She isn't in the opening scenes until they acknowledge her before he falls. Look at the opening drone scenes. She's not there
Damit" where's a chopper when you need one? 😋🔥✌️🤟
