Some of these critics are so full of themselves. If you want to sit down and enjoy a sweet and inspiring film, do yourself a favor and watch this some evening with no expectation and prejudgment and you will most likely fall in love with film as I have. Sure some of the story might be a little ambiguous in the beginning however it works for this film. It allows the wonderment we had as kids to surface and bloom like a flower in summertime. I was enchanted how the ability to heal was unfolded in the story line. I felt that this was a great first effort by Marcus Dean Fuller and hope to see more come down the road. I stand up and cheer.

I recently watched One Fall on Demand. It truly is a wonderful, wonderful movie. I was very refreshed to watch something that inspired hope. I'm looking forward to more of Marcus Fuller's works. The movie is about a man, James, who develops the power to heal sick people around him after he somehow survives a fall off of a cliff just outside a town, One Fall. After the fall, James leaves his hometown. He didn't know how to reveal his new power to his friends and family. After a short stint in jail, he returns home. He begins to use his gift for personal profit--everyone loves his gift, but secretly he's using it only for financial and status gain. James begins to question his own motives and must figure out why he was fortunate enough to survive such a drastic fall. It's a grand tale of how we all use our individual gifts--sometimes for selfish reasons, but ultimately, we must make sacrifices and place our talents in the right places. Enjoyed the movie very much! Give it a watch!

Some of the acting was quite good, the directing was overall - weak. I found the story and the film to be self important and really lacking in originality (for the type of film that has only that to offer).The music was saccharin and most of the scenes were over lit, creating something that just screams: TV production, trying to be a serious film.I see that the lead actor also wrote and directed this project. Not surprising.The actor has charisma, no doubt, but as a director, his work is very homogenized and predictable.I had big hopes for this film after finding it listed on iTunes. Really disappointing to pay the same for this film as a film by Oliver Stone, One of the Scotts or any of a list of A list pros.Give this one a miss. My teeth are still aching.I'm not even going to begin to delve into the imperfections in the production here. Not worth the time.Thumbs way down.

One Fall tells the story of James Bond (I love this
reminds me of a name pun I employed in one of my screenplays), played by Marcus, who miraculously survived a 200 foot fall. After a very brief recovery (that's an understatement), he disappeared from the city of One Fall without explanation. He even left behind his beautiful fiancé. He later returns to One Fall to face the music and use the gift he undeniably has. However, healing people doesn't come cheap. There's that moral dilemma I was talking about two paragraphs above. What would you do if you had this power? Would you exploit it or use it for greater good? James wrestles with this and more as people all around him, even loved ones, start to push him away. They can't understand him. To them, the man who fell never came back. James must come to grip with who he is, why he survived that fall and what he is meant to do in this world with his gift. Again
wow! The story is not only profound in my opinion, but very powerful, deep and touching. (Read the full review at whysoblu dot com)
