By 1994 Charlie Sheen`s highly acclaimed performances in PLATOON and WALL STREET were a long faded memory and he found himself starring - That`s " starring " as in " Starring Eric Roberts in a movie few people got the chance to see in a cinema " - in dross like TERMINAL VELOCITY . To be honest this isn`t the worst film you`ll ever see but it is a fundamentally mediocre one . Sheen plays a sky diving instructor who finds himself facing possible manslaughter charges after the death of one of his students . I won`t spoil it but there`s a very unlikely plot twist about half way through where both Sheen`s character and the audience gasp " I don`t believe this " and then things get more and more unlikely as the hero finds himself chased by Slavic bad guys .

Like I said it`s not the worst thriller ever made , it stars actors most people will recognise and the sky diving stunts are fairly good , in fact this might have been a good thriller after all but it`s ruined by too many unlikely plot twists
