Charlie Sheen and Nastassja Kin std dive toward a world of intrigue in terminal velocity which just opened at military Heaters. Chuck Vinch staff writer on movies terminal velocity Ratedpg-13 must sea Worth your time it it passable entertainment com lip soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait Charlie Sheen takes his insufferably smug style to dizzying Heights in this brainless action flick which Only serves to Cement his status As a fading b movie actor whose films Are Staples of video bargain bins. What happened to this Guy just a few years ago he was a hot property Riding the Crest of big budget hits such As platoon and Wall Street. Since then he has churned out such throwaway drivel As major league hot shots and the execrable men at work in which he and his equally self absorbed brother Emilio Estevez Are aptly cast As witless trash collectors. Sheen s latest Effort which Marks the return of the a lamented and marginally talented Nastassja Kinski after a Long child rearing hiatus manages to wring a few thrills from its skydiving backdrop. But whenever Sheen opens his Mouth to deliver yet another stale one liner it s All you can do to keep from wincing. 1 Sheen plays ditch yes ditch Brodie a daredevil goofball who works As a skydiving instructor and is racking up a record number of Faa safety Vio lations. One Day in walks Chris Morrow Kinski Labouring mightily with her american accent Slinky babe who demands that ditch take her up for a lesson right away. Soon enough ditch a smarmy. Weasel who thinks he s god s gift to women is murmuring Sweet nothings in her ear at 5,000 feet and looking to get Lucky. But when he turns away for a moment she s gone. He goes after her but it s too late she s roadkill. Except she s not really dead. The remaining three quarters of the movie is spent explaining How this could be. It s a soggy Saga involving a Bunch of sex Kab goons a plan Load of Mother Russia s Gold and a lot of lame Post cold War intrigue. -. Although the film chugs along at decent clip clueless director Deran Sarafian and writer David Twohy seem to be stuck in that one gear the nonstop Parade of stunts chases escapes and me liners becomes exceedingly Monot Onous after a while As ditch and Chris try to Dodge the russian goons led by James Gandolfini and Christopher Mcdonald. Twohy who co wrote the script for the fugitive founders badly on his own Here. He tries to spark the kind of flirtatious wisecracking banter that Bruce Willis has More or less patented but Sheen clearly lacks the Star wattage to pull it off. One example of Twohy s idea of witty repartee Chris Calls ditch a walking Penis after fending off yet another one of his amorous moves. Hey i m not a walking Penis i m a flying Penis he says. Well he s partly right. And i m not talking about the Fly ing part either. In another scene ditch asks a Friend to look at lettering on a knife he has managed to take from one of the rus Sian goons. It s cyrillic his Friend in forms him. Ditch Peers at him densely and says of you mean from Syria the film is saved from being a total disaster by the excellent skydiving foot age which is highlighted by a lengthy scene near the end in which the bad Guys push a Cherry red Cadillac but of a plane with Chris locked in the trunk and ditch behind the wheel. That s the gets As Many stars As it does. If you re still around after the Cadillac scene get set for an unbelievable Coda that is so loopy even the normally shameless Sheen looks embarrassed. Among other ludicrous touches the scene features i swear this is True a three legged dog. The film s title refers to the Maxi mum Speed that a skydiver can achieve while falling around 110 to 120 Miles per hour. That s about As fast As this film will Migrate to video stores.
