Movie time: "The Fall"...

After a fall, Roy Walker; a movie stunt man with paralyzed legs, is recovering at a Los Angeles hospital in the 1920s. Alexandria is a child in the hospital recovering from a broken arm. She asks Roy to tell her a elaborate story to keep her entertained. In exchange for the story, he wants her to scout and steal morphine from the hospital's pharmacy---he tells her he needs it for his pain but, secretly he's planning to commit suicide...

...He tells her a tale about six men of varied backgrounds who are together on a quest to kill a corrupt provincial governor. But between chapters of the story, the realities at the hospital, his suicide plans and their friendship; the lines of truth and fiction begin to blur...

...this is a great film, with wonderful costumes and visuals, shot in various locations around the world. Plenty of eye candy to enjoy. And in addition to all of that...it has a great story, too. Look for it on Netflix.
