Castle Falls (2021) is an American action thriller directed by Dolph Lundgren, marking his return to directing after over a decade. The film stars Lundgren alongside Scott Adkins, and centers on a high-stakes race for hidden cash within an abandoned hospital slated for demolition.
The story unfolds in the soon-to-be-demolished Castle Heights Hospital, where $3 million in stolen cash is hidden. Three parties converge: Mike Wade (Scott Adkins), an ex-fighter working on the demolition crew; Richard Ericson (Dolph Lundgren), a prison guard desperate to fund his daughter’s cancer treatment; and a ruthless gang seeking their lost fortune. With the building set to be destroyed in 90 minutes, a tense battle ensues as each group vies for the money and their survival.
Lundgren’s direction emphasizes character development, particularly the dynamic between Mike and Richard. While some critics found the pacing uneven, the film’s latter half delivers intense action sequences. Adkins showcases his martial arts prowess, and his chemistry with Lundgren adds depth to the narrative.
Castle Falls is available for streaming on various platforms and can be purchased on Blu-ray and DVD. Availability may vary based on your location.
