Tripfall is a thriller movie from 2000 that stars Eric Roberts, John Ritter, and Rachel Hunter. The movie is directed by Serge Rodnunsky and is produced by Rodnunsky and Randall Emmett. The plot revolves around the character of Terry, played by Eric Roberts, who is a convicted felon and has been released from prison. Terry is trying to put his life back together with the help of his sister-in-law, Erin, played by Rachel Hunter. Erin has given Terry a job at her company, and he is trying to stay clean and turn his life around.

One day, Terry's former partner in crime, Craig, played by John Ritter, shows up at his doorstep, insisting that they team up for one more job. Despite Terry's initial reluctance, he agrees to the plan after Craig tells him that the job will be his ticket out of the country and a fresh start with Erin.

However, things do not go according to plan as the duo gets caught in a web of deceit, betrayal, and violence. Terry tries to navigate through the murky waters with Erin's help, but he soon realizes that everything is not as it seems.

The movie boasts of some great performances, especially by the trio of Eric Roberts, John Ritter, and Rachel Hunter. Roberts is convincing as the ex-convict seeking redemption, and his portrayal of Terry is both nuanced and intense. Ritter, on the other hand, is excellent as the slimy Craig, whose true intentions are always shrouded in mystery. Hunter's Erin is the voice of reason in the movie and provides the much-needed emotional support to Terry.

The movie's direction and pacing are spot on, and Rodnunsky manages to keep the audience engaged throughout the running time. The movie also has some impressive cinematography, especially in the scenes shot in the countryside.

While Tripfall is a thriller, it also has a lot of heart. The relationship between Terry and Erin is given enough screen time, and their interactions are both tender and realistic. The movie tackles themes of trust, redemption, and forgiveness and does so with enough finesse to make it not feel heavy-handed.

Overall, Tripfall is a gripping thriller that has aged well over the years. The performances, direction, and themes make it a must-watch for fans of the genre, and the movie is a testament to the fact that sometimes the best movies are the ones that fly under the radar.
