Set in the rustic Midwestern town of One Fall, the film tells the story of a man, James (Marcus Dean Fuller), who miraculously survived a horrific fall from a spectacular 200 foot-high cliff and was never heard from again. However, three years after vanishing James chooses to return to his hometown of One Fall -- but he returns a changed man. For an incomprehensible reason James has developed supernatural healing abilities since the fall. He must decide whether to use his abilities to help the ones he once turned his back on, or to continue running from his mysterious past.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
dfwforeignbuff I saw this film in my TV room on net flix march 2014 I liked it/. Parts of the film were weak but over all I think the idea was good and well presented. Its a fantasy accept it as that!! magic realism is "an aesthetic style or genre of fiction in which magical elements blend with the real world. The story explains these magical elements as real occurrences, presented in a straightforward manner that places the "real" and the "fantastic" in the same stream of thought. Although it is most commonly used as a literary genre, magic realism also applies to film and the visual arts." I think writer/director Marcus Dean fuller did a great job considering he wrote and directed!! At age eighteen, while climbing with friends, Marcus fell over one hundred feet breaking and his back in several places. After weeks in the hospital he received the news that he would not regain use of his legs. Two weeks later he walked out of the hospital. This experience became the inspiration for his first feature film, One Fall.Mr. Fuller serves on the Yale School of Drama Board of Advisors, the Yale University Alumni Board, The Nantucket Theater Institute Board of Directors and the Hyde Museum Board of Trustees. He holds degrees in English Literature, Philosophy and Psychology and is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama.
merachi259 My husband and I found this movie very bizarre.There was a lot going on in the story that was a little hard to follow. There were too many scenes replayed to make a plot point but not enough of the things that were happening were explained to help the viewer understand. If you were to try to watch this movie without reading a summary of what it was about you'd be totally lost.I thought the acting was very good. But the problem I had was with the main character. He was quite self destructive. I really wanted to like him, and he really did seem to want to do the right things for other people, he went about many things the wrong way.I wasn't horrible, just quite.....strange!
mrbusyb Remember that dumb movie by Midnight Shallow Light called "Unbreakable" starring Bruce Willis and how he couldn't be destroyed. This movie is even dumber. How dumb is this movie? Even the kid that plays the dumb kid is dumb. And does the pretty actress in this movie have any naked pictures of herself on the internet? No! Was the music score in this movie any good? Well, it was too good actually. Will this movie be a hidden gem in a hundred years? Not in a million. The movie starts off as a mystery in that not quite enough information connects the dots to make the story understandable. It is almost as if one is starting off from a sequel, or worse, from a cheap TV series. Look, don't end your life. Instead, just don't watch this movie. It isn't even dumb enough to be watched as a comedy.
specvman2003 NO SPOILERS!! but, I will say that the ending was a tad confusing and there is lots to be left to the imagination. The movie starts out very good, character build up is decent and the story line is good until the end. The ending leaves you going "huh??" That being said, it is not a bad movie, and many will find it enjoyable. I know that I didn't even notice how long it was running until it ended. Some of the situations are easily relatable and you can easily associate many of the scenes. It simply seemed to be that they need a quick ending and thus decided on the easiest way out. Many will see the end coming, some may be able to get the ending and some may be as confused about the ending as others on this board.
