  Terminal Velocity is a film which lacks completely any hint of logic or reasonable plot. It is often silly and some scenes are absolutely embarrassing to watch. Still there is certain fun in all of this mayhem. Director Deran Sarafian begins his film with nice touches of Hitchcock and succeeds in creating an entertaining mystery around a young dead girl who has died accidentally. From there it goes into territory more familiar to James Bond type of films with all the fancy cadgets and Russian bad guys. What begun as a nice little murder mystery spirals out of control into a dumb action yarn with typical cold war themes. Charlie Sheen is charismatic enough here and seems to understand the silliness of it all but Nastassja Kinski is way too actor good to waste her talents in a film like this. It is not that i did not find this film entertaining. Terminal Velocity is just in the end nothing but a hollow excersise in themes and genres we've seen made better in many other films. This is far from the disaster it might have been but i cannot recommend it either. There are still few nice set pieces for the fans of the action films and how often do you get to see car been thrown out of plane while it is off the ground.

  The second skydiving action flick released in 94 and again its not exactly a brilliant film but fairs somewhat better than 'Drop Zone' in my opinion. Charlie Sheen is cast after the possibility of Cruise was lost so obviously instead of a huge blockbuster this is more of an average run of the mill actioner, its not too bad to be honest as Sheen was always best in silly action fests and doesn't disappoint here with his funny quick quips and slightly classic James Dean Hollywood appearance. Abit of class is added with Kinski and Gandolfini plus an interesting plot that does keep you guessing for awhile yet not too long but its actually good fun watching Sheen blunder his way through the mystery with some decent stunts and fist fighting. The most impressive stunt being a car dumped out the back of a plane with Sheen in the drivers seat, clearly not the star but its a fun sequence and better than watching skydivers mince around in the air with 'Drop Zone'. Watch out for the ending in this as its a real duffer with some nasty bluescreen going on, allot of bluescreen used in this film but the ending just looked the worst..for a simple shot.

  "Terminal Velocity" is without a doubt Charlie Sheen's best action movie so far and one of the best skydiving movies. It's a Cold War story about a sky-diving instructor (Charlie Sheen) who has a not so great record. He unwillingly becomes involved in a major Russian scam after one of his students (Nastassja Kinski) cheats death and makes everybody think that she fell to her death when really she didn't. Now they both must try to avoid running into the Mafia so they can have a chance to stay alive. "Terminal Velocity" is an action packed and exciting action movie. It has a lot of thrilling and exciting parts to it such as when Charlie Sheen is inside a car that is free falling down to earth. The skydiving sequences in the movie aren't the only good parts to it, however. It also has other good action packed sequences while Sheen and Kinski are eluding and running away from the Mafia, and it has some gun-shooting parts to it as well. The plot might be a bit choppy in parts, but it's still easy enough to figure out and the acting in the movie isn't bad either. If you like good action movies that are fun to watch and suspenseful at the same time, I recommend getting "Terminal Velocity." NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. Don't remember this movie well now, but it was good.

  Ludicrous thriller that sees sky diving instructor Charlie Sheen battling soviet spies. How anyone could actually take Point Break and dumb it down even more is beyond me. I'll forgive you Nastassja. Just don't do it again...

  Charlie Sheen is extremely cool to this high-flying action-adventure.
