David H @DavidHHH 3d A familiar story and not much detail added. The actual causes of the MCAS nose dives and the missing door plug bolts, and Boeing's obstruction of the investigations, is not fully covered and in fact is even more damning of the company. The various whistle-blowers are given a good platform here and their characters are nicely presented, so I guess that's what this movie adds to the previous installment.

Three of the CEOs at Boeing who followed Jack Welch's (of GE "fame") business policies of cost cutting over attention to detail resulted in rebuilds and tragically - the deaths of 346 people. The documentary details the company's bad policy of using outsourcing to cut costs which resulted in poor quality aircraft. And any quality inspectors were pushed aside or, in at least one case, driven to suicide. This documentary will make you angry and sad that a great American company's reputation has been tarnished by grossly incompetent management who were rewarded with gigantic bonuses while causing the deaths of hundreds of people. I hope that the new CEO Kelly Ortberg (an engineer by training) will turn the company around. Watch the documentary, you may think twice before boarding a Boeing aircraft (especially a 737 Max or Dreamliner). See more Freddy V @RT18427309 5d A David vs Goliath type of documentary. See more Rochelle A @RT35588981 5d My ex-husband worked for Boeing for a lot of years, and I remember him telling me some of the concerns he had. The movie was great. It really revealed how corrupt these big corporations are and how hard it is to really bring justice to big corporations. See more Michael W @mawilps 5d This documentary was really good. The entire crew did a fantastic job on revealing what the famous aviation company Boeing has been doing for years. It reveals everything about why companies like Boeing will do anything to keep secrets and not do anything to fix them. The Boeing whistleblowers are very brave to tell their stories about Boeing. Once you see this documentary, you'll never want to fly with Boeing again. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 6d Freefall: A Reckoning 4 Boeing is a documentary that had the potential to be far more engaging than what was delivered. When you’re covering a subject this serious and significant, I expect the filmmaking to pull me into the story through compelling interviews, archival footage, and a presentation that keeps the momentum moving. Unfortunately, this documentary felt extremely slow and difficult to stay invested in. The interviews didn’t have enough energy or substance to keep my attention, and simply putting people on camera to explain what happened isn’t enough to carry an entire documentary. The material needed stronger editing and a more dynamic approach. I actually found myself losing focus several times while watching. I may have even dozed off or gotten up to grab a drink because the presentation wasn’t giving me enough reason to remain completely engaged. The subject itself is important, but the documentary needed to make that importance felt through the filmmaking. See more Read all reviews
