I watched "Deadfall" on the TV channel FearNet, which usually shows horror flicks. I spent about half the time watching the movie trying to understand why anyone considered it a horror movie; in my opinion, there's no reason to classify it as anything. A loosely constructed story of a man (Michael Biehn) trying to reclaim family heirloom from his con artist uncle (James Coburn), this is one truly low movie. It seems as if they were trying to make several different movies at once. Nicolas Cage plays his role as if he's getting pumped full of air, while Charlie Sheen, Talia Shire and Peter Fonda all get wasted (as does Mickey Dolenz in one scene).
Overall, as far as I can tell, this movie has no purpose except to show Nicolas Cage overacting. Just because the movie apparently constitutes a family get-together for the Coppola clan (aside from starring Nicolas Cage and Talia Shire, it is directed by Christopher Coppola), that doesn't count for anything. My advice is to avoid it. Although I gotta say that Sarah Trigger looked pretty hot in some scenes.
