The Less Interesting TimesBecause When Else Would You Rather Be?

Terminal Velocityis about a not-so-stand-up skydiving instructor who takes up a strange client and ends up being involved in some Russian smuggling conspiracy.

Basically, it’s a standard nineties action flick centered around high-flying escapades. The premise is very basic, the start off point is kind of silly, the acting is decent, the action is… well, nineties. But still, even 18 years after the making, it has some exciting scenes. The parts involving free falls are especially great. I mean, I can see the stunt doubles and the puppets but when you fall off a plane in a car, it’s exciting.

I wouldn’t call it a must, I wouldn’t compare it to The Last Boyscout, I wouldn’t even call it a keeper. But if you’re fond of nineties action, this is one of the good ones.
