Synopsis: Survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse learn there's no way you can cheat Death.

Review: Another movie in the FD franchise, this time featuring a group of co-workers heading off to a company retreat for a few days, when DISASTER OCCURS!!!!! The movie serves its purpose much like its predecessors do. You get your premonition of everyone dieing, then everyone escaping just moments before, then everyone starts dieing off, they discover that death will seek them out (this time they are informed of this by a mortician played by the Candyman himself, Tony Todd) & then they spend the rest of the film trying to out run death. The only thing that I was not personally a huge fan of was that during Sam's premonition of them all dieing, everyone dies in a somewhat clever, creative way. David Koechner's death was my favourite. But then throughout the rest of the film almost all of the deaths are either predictable or much lamer than the way they were originally planed. However they do a very good job of incorporating a little bit of comedic suspense when you think that oh "this is how they die" you might be surprised that it's not.
