BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

ManBehindTheMask63 I rented this film because of the legendary cast. Michael biehn, nic cage, Angus scrimm-the tall man himself, Charlie sheen, Talia shire, and peter Fonda. But even an eccentric and solid cast couldn't save dead fall. The acting is some of the weakest I've seen from these actors. Nic cage goes gonzo over the top, so much so that he is the only redeemable thing in the movie. Michael biehn is solid but he seems very bored. It features lobster hands, twin brothers, a really cheese narration, one of the lamest and unerotic sex scenes ever filmed, death by deep fryer, and Charlie sheen looking sexual. Overall, interesting cast cant redeem a clichéd and slow thriller without any thrills.

kavenga The script and the direction are just terrible. Take the scene where James Coburn is explaining the con to his gang as they sit around a card table. The camera is in the middle of the table and rotates around, panning across the faces of the crew. I think it goes around twice. Any film that makes you overtly aware of its technique is amateurish at best.Was Nicolas Cage trying to ruin the film? Did he have it in for his director cousin? What else can explain this performance from the same guy that had previously starred in Moonstruck? He's ridiculous in this.As others have said, watch it only if you want to see just how wretched a movie can be despite a superior cast. Charlie Sheen's brief appearance was the one bright spot in this turkey.

TheBadElement-2 Michael Biehn was the only saving grace in this movie. I don't know how Cage got anymore jobs after his performance, of course he only had to work with what the writers gave him. Maybe if the writers had taken the time to write a better script, then maybe the movie would have been better. I've seen most of the actors and actresses in other films, and I was surprised by all of their performances. I don't think any of them had much to work with. Again, the fault lays with the writers. I really felt sorry for the actors. And I wanted to cry for Michael Biehn. He is such a great actor, under rated, but great. He, as well as the other actors, didn't stand a chance with this film.

markamuss After watching this film, you feel very very dumb for paying money to see it. What would draw you to see this film? Nicolas Cage, James Coburn, a director with Coppola as a last name. Don't be fooled. What was so bad about this film? There's not enough time to pick it apart and describe everything, so I'll put it this way: Remember back in grade school, when the teacher would ask you to write a story, and you wrote a story that you thought was so great and clever, and your teacher may have said, "Very good", and your little friends thought it was "Awesome". Well, if for some reason that story was made into a full length feature film, then it would be about as good as Deadfall was.
