‘Fall 2: Deadpoint’ goes bigger, but not necessarily better
The sequel to 2022’s ‘Fall’ follows two women tackling a cliffside plank walk in Thailand.
Lionsgate's 2022 survival thriller "Fall" left protagonist Jax Hunter mourning the loss of her sister Shiloh after an ill-fated climb. Now, in "Deadpoint", Jax teams up with Shiloh's adventurous friend Luce to attempt a dangerous cliffside plank walk on Mount Kwan, hoping to find closure. However, the sequel falls short of the original's psychological twist, delivering a twist that feels lacklustre and not all that believable.
Despite the higher stakes, the film does not provide as many challenges or a prolonged ordeal as the first film, with the pair mostly just hanging on during their descent. Overall, "Fall 2: Deadpoint" is a wake-up call, but it does not surpass the original, and the franchise may not warrant another sequel.
