  • Terminal Velocity
  • Charlie Sheen (THE THREE MUSKETEERS, YOUNG GUNS) delivers fast-paced excitement to this high-flying action-adventure! Sheen stars as Ditch Brodie, a daredevil skydiving instructor who falls hard when a sexy, mysterious beauty (Natassja Kinski) walks through his door looking for a lesson -- and apparently plunges to her death during a parachute jump! Suddenly, Sheen finds himself hurled headlong into a nightmare world of intrigue and deceit -- caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Russian mafia! With pulse-pounding suspense and sensational skydiving, high-speed adventure doesn't move any faster than TERMINAL VELOCITY.

    A formula thriller with a skydiving theme, there is not a single plot turn that can hold up under close examination, but if you let the movie breeze by, untethered by common sense or logic, it can be an enjoyable experience.

    Fun action movie if you forgive the total silliness.

    Not exciting enough to be a Die Hard, not funny enough to be a Hot Shots! film either.
