When a lonely housewife (Emmy winner Sharon Stone) faces the reality of her dying marriage to Gary (Timothy Hutton), she seeks comfort in highly unlawful and forbidden activities. While Gary takes to drinking away his troubles, he doesn't realize that things are falling apart around him— until it's too late. When a Man Falls is a gripping psychological thriller sure to keep you guessing until the end!

Summary: Hopeless
Comment: I see that a couple of reviewers were kind enough to award some extra stars for the potential of a film like this one. Sorry, but every movie has the potential to be a good one; but when it is poorly scripted, poorly plotted and poorly acted, it will be a horrible film. This is a horrible, horrible film, which wanders as aimlessly as its characters. I seem to be beating a dead horse, but I felt compelled to add my voice to the chorus of those who literally felt cheated by the misrepresentation of what this film aimed to be. Or, is that the point? Is all of life a misrepresentation; perhaps a sort of waking dream? What if . . . nah, don't bother -- the message is hopeless.

Summary: When A Movie Viewer Falls
Comment: God-awful movie. I was first attrated to the movie at a popular video store because of the actors and the description on the movie sleeve. However, the description is a complete misrepresentation: "When a lonely housewife (Sharon Stone) faces the reality of her dying marriage to Gary (Timothy Hutton), she seeks comfort in unlawful and forbidden activities." Her role was minor and we see her shoplifting twice. On the front of the sleeve: "WHEN A MAN FALLS in the end . . . she got what she wanted." Well, I didn't see it coming and I never saw it coming because we don't really know what she wanted. Then, the final paragraph, "WHEN A MAN FALLS is a gripping psychological thriller sure to keep you mesmerized right up until the shocking end!" The only thing I wanted to grip was my own throat for putting myself through this unthrilling unpsychological bore of an incoherent mess.

Summary: Say, wha?
Comment: Um, can you say one of the worst movies ever? The only man that fell here was me..falling for the price of renting this horrible movie! Lifeless, dreary, and humorless. Perhaps has something to do with the depressing plot: A loser janitor (Dylan Baker), listens to opera and has emotional and social issues. Fast forward to he meets up with another loser (Hutton), and his loser shop-lifting wife (Stone). Stone looks stoned. Stone looks yucky. Somewhere I lost interest. I think it was like right after the opening credits. No. Maybe it was the awful acting. Still, it could have been the lack of a coherent plot, I don't really know or care. But if you want a "gripping psychological thriller" as the box claims, then you'll do yourself a favor and keep looking. What a waste of talent.
