Fall (2022) review

A little less than a year after her husband Dan (Mason Gooding) perished from a climbing accident, his widow Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) finds herself depressed and drinking - not even her Father (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) can "reach her" - so her friend Hunter (Virginia Gardner), to snap her 'out of it,' proposes that they climb the B67 Tower and record it for YouTube ... but the structure is one strong gust away from falling apart and everything that can go wrong with their "adventure" does.  Considering the moderate budget director Mann had to work with, this is impressive from a technical point-of-view (people with acrophobia might want to steer clear) and it's determined to be as tense as possible for as long as it can get away with it, dashing almost any hope for them to survive, playing around with the audience and tinkering with the physical laws of nature the entire time (physicists should also avoid watching it).  It's so highly manipulated the ending can't help but feel like a copout - plus, keeping with the Rules of the Cinema, the "cheater" is punished (her corpse and Chucks are useful) and dear old Dad's hunch proves correct after all.
