Down Came a Blackbird (1995 TV Movie)
6/10
A fairly good TV flick!

Warning: Spoilers
As with most of the comments posted this Movie is well worth just to watch Vanessa Redgrave put out a great performance in a potentially great story that seemed to lacked a good ending. Raul Julia performance I would rate as one of his best as the mysterious patient who ended up having the worst story to tell.

Dern was the weakest link and i agree with other comments that her performance was up and down throughout the movie however I found the story to not help in this case as well.

I just cannot get over how she "survived" sure i get the point it was more the actions than the event but I just find her escape just abit too cheesy for my liking.

The twist was good but the ending failed with me and to tell you more would just ruin it.

The story had some potential and it was a good TV movie if you can get over some inconsistencies and to just watch Vanessa and Raul in his last performance was simply divine.

RIP Raul it was sad to see your sunken face but the spark in your eyes was there till the end.
