A load of funMarch 8, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As a skydiver, I just loved this movie. Sure, it's got the usual stuff (a la Dropzone) of someone going from whuffo to amazing skydiver in a completely unbelievable amount of time but, hey, it's a movie, you suspend disbelief :-)
The plot is a bit thin and a bit Point Break-ish, but not without its moments, especially the emotional conflict - undercover agent goes in and gets seduced by the lifestyle of the people he's tracking and gets to like them. Then it's time to do his job... What really made the movie for me was the skydiving sequences though - there are a lot of them and they are really fun to watch.

Cutaway is a must for all adrenalin junkies. It features Vic Cooper, an undercover customs officer who must break into a skydive drugs ring. The plot is a little shaky, but the skydiving sequences are superb with a lot of stunts done by the actors. This is ten times better than other skydiving films like Drop Zone and Terminal Velocity as it is 95% skydiving. Freeflyers and Formation skydivers alike will love this film. Non skydivers will be tempted to make their first jump!!
