Tony Jakubiak is careening through life as a hip, black
sheep under-achiever.
The polar opposite of his square, over-achieving D.A.
older brother Frank, who is on his way to becoming
the youngest Governor in history. Then, one night,
Tony is arrested for the brutal murder of a priest.
A murder he didn’t commit.
Big brother Frank comes to his rescue, but Tony won’t
reveal his alibi for where he was at the time of the
murder. As the trial gets closer, and life imprisonment
becomes a possibility, Frank discovers where Tony was
and with whom.
Frank now has the alibi and evidence to set his brother
free. But when this revealing and tawdry evidence
threatens to end Frank’s career and dredge up a very
incriminating incident in their past, will Frank speak
out? Or let Tony take the fall?

Reviews for The Fall
With The Fall, writer-director John Krueger buries a promising neo-noir plot with ponderous pacing and uneven performances and dialogue.
The Fall is really just a dull, poorly acted courtroom drama with glossy, autumnal cinematography and an implausible twist.
