Okay, let’s address some initial points. It's hard to grasp why a 2000-foot television relay tower would simply be abandoned after satellite delivery became standard—it seems odd that such a structure would just remain standing until it collapses from metal fatigue. Fortunately for viewers, the planning oversight allowed "Becky" (Grace Caroline Currey) and her friend "Hunter" (Virginia Gardner) to climb it. This event holds significant weight for Becky; she previously free-climbed with her friend and husband "Dan" (Mason Gooding), an experience that ended in disaster, leading her to seek solace in alcohol since then. Disregarding any practical preparations—like bringing food or gloves—they ascend, utilizing a ladder, and reach the top where they’re struck by the expansive view. It's time to descend when the ladder breaks. The women are fortunate there's a platform at the summit for them to take shelter on, but their bag—containing water and a drone—plummets 50 feet, teetering precariously on an unused satellite dish below. What now? The story takes a decidedly bleak turn when they signal for help with a flare, only to have some men in a camper van spot them and then steal their car. Ultimately, this is mainly a demonstration of impressive photography that genuinely made my hands sweat. Director Scott Mann and the cinematographer (MacGregor) succeed in immersing us in the friends’ difficult situation, and anyone who experiences anxiety about heights will likely find this film quite stressful at times. However, the attempt to develop the characters results in some rather predictable melodrama, even at such a height, making it hard to connect with either woman as they are circled by buzzards. The conclusion is disappointing. To its credit, the ending isn't entirely conventional; it has a few unusual elements intended to surprise us—though these feel somewhat unrealistic. I wouldn’t necessarily say I *enjoyed* this film—I certainly wasn’t relaxed during the screening—but if you do decide to see it, it really needs to be on a large screen. Watching it on television would diminish its photographic impact, and that's essentially all the movie has going for it; the acting and repetitive “Are you OK?” exchanges are subpar.
