What to Know

Critics Consensus

More of a string of formulaic set pieces than an actual action thriller, Terminal Velocity ends up going nowhere fast.

As a wise-cracking sky-diving instructor, Charlie Sheen wears his usual look of someone who has just been asked a really difficult question (like: how come your career has lasted this long?). Go to Full Review

Some of the comic writing undercuts the preposterous story. Go to Full Review

You've gotta hand it to Terminal Velocity: This movie may be dumb as a box of shredded wheat, but it has the damnedest action sequence I've seen since Arnold Schwarzenegger blasted the bad guy with the missile in True Lies. Go to Full Review

4/10
Although the realism is at a staggering low, the screenplay is surprisingly clever, using quite a few jokes and suspenseful situations for impressive comedic effect. Go to Full Review

...a perfectly watchable (if entirely forgettable) little thriller... Go to Full Review
Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal 03/28/2014
3.5/5
A brisk, sleek wrong-man story that's easily the better of 1994's dueling skydiver movies and, had a darker Charlie Sheen from another universe not swapped places with our own, might have made the actor Kurt Russell's action-movie heir apparent. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Apr 12 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são bacaninhas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more Steve D 02/19/2023 Every bit as dumb as it sounds. See more 04/07/2020 Largely forgotten and dismissed action flick, but I don't know why, it's a blast. Sheen shows off how much of a star he could've really been. Loads of charisma and a ton of really impressive action set pieces. I love the bumbling hero archetype he's playing here. See more shae m 04/03/2020 Absolute fun ride... See more brendan n 05/01/2019 Terminal Velocity is an interesting action film. It plays out like an Alfred Hitchcock film and expects you to go along for the ride. Great stunts and Sheen cleverly cast in the lead. He saves this from being an average action film. Drop Zone was the competing film at the time and this was the better film. The film isn't overly serious and it doesn't expect you to treat it this way. I enjoyed the film and will be interested in checking out another team up of Twohy and Sheen on The Arrival. 22/04/2019 See more 08/08/2017 parts ok but cheesy dumb story See more Read all reviews
