Reminds me of those guys, forgot what they call themselves, adrenalin thrill seekers who go around climbing sky scrapers, cranes etc then hang off them by their fingertips, nutters!
And of course the fearless Native Americans who built many of New Yorks skyscraper buildings
I never bother with IMDb and tomatoes is infested with so called critics that will put down any film if they can think of a clever construct whilst a doin the dishin.
I always read Roger Ebert (sadly no longer with us) or the Guardian. Peter Bradshaw rather than Komode .But always after watching the filum.
Just watched “Fall”. For a budget of just $3M it’s quite astonishing just how much fear can be generated in a viewer who doesn’t like heights. Before I even knew about the film, this was my very worst nightmare.
I was literally watching from between my fingers and at one point, considered going behind the sofa - something I haven’t done since watching Dr Who (when it was a programme meant to be scary) as a kid.
I can’t wait to watch it again, like finishing the world’s scariest Rollercoaster- then joining the queue to go on it again.
I use IMDb a lot to help decide whether I want to watch something. 5.0 or above is enough for me. Just means a Balance of good vs bad reviews. I only read the bad ones because you can soon work out whether you care about what they are whining about
I dont always read the reviews, like you I just look at the overall score and tend to avoid anything below 5 IMBD unless its something I’m curious to take a punt on. I’m talking pay per view of course if its a freebie…
Just watched a Hopper.Star and director of ‘Backtrack’ on the freevee channel connected to Amazon.
So so. Seems to loose some pace when he directs himself snuggling up to Ms. Foster. But a fair caper.
I watched the trailer, I thought it looked rather grainy and unconvincing.
That guy climbing the mast that @Jamiewednesday posted gave me the willys though!
