Summary: Dreadful
Review: Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful.It's a Sylvestor Stallone movie. That should be your first and only necessary clue. If, like me, you have a fascination with this whole climbing boom and get sucked into watching this, you'll quickly discover what a dog this movie is. Bad acting, bad plot (loosely based on real-life events but not enough so to save it), bad, bad, bad. Only climbing movie that's worse than this is "Into Thin Air." That's one of the greatest books ever, but as a movie it's a train wreck.

Summary: good beginning, bad rest of the way
Review: this movie started off really well. i love the beginning part, and was fixed on the screen as the tragedy happened on the cliffside at the beginning of the movie. but from there on, i actually lost interest. they made the first part of the film too good, so that the rest seemed paltry.

Summary: High-Caliber Excitement!
Review: Gabe Walker (Sylvester Stallone) was haunted by a woman falling to her death. Her equipment started to break while she was dangling stories high from the ground. Mountain climbing had never been so difficult and Walker pulled himself toward her to grab her. He caught her as she fell, but her hand started to slip. It was a terrifying moment. When she fell, he was devastated and felt guilty for many years. It wasn't his fault, it was slippage. Well, in present day, John Lithgow (wannabe wiseguy) has dropped millions of dollars into some snowy mountains. He and his group of hooligans try to recover the money and they have the deity and Michael Rooker to help them get it back. Lots of mayhem and avalanches galore! I was amazed with the ability that Stallone had. Climbing a freezing mountain in only a t-shirt, jumping off of cliffs and swimming underneath some ice. Gargantuan! Stallone vs. Lithgow at the end was a bit pitiful. Why let the 3rd Rock guy even punch you a couple of times? That was nice of you Stallone. Well, Renny Harlin's "Cliffhanger" does deliver and it won't disappoint any Stallone fan. Icy entertainment!

Summary: Cliffhanger
Review: Renny Harlin's action flick Cliffhanger is an exciting adrenalin-pumping ride. And while it could be described as "Die Hard on a Mountain", it's still exhilarating fun that's one of Stallone's best films. John Lithgow is the movie's main villain, and he works his stuff to great effect, and set up against Stallone's he-man heroics, the two are both tremendous. And the action ante is set up far more than other Die Hard rip-offs such as Executive Decision. Renny Harlin's direction makes the film's tendencies toward brutal violence get rather extreme at times, and to see Stallone manage to beat the meatloaf out of the bad guys after getting wasted is sometimes beyond believable, but as the DVD's deleted scenes show, they actually toned down the film's superman-like qualities to good effect. Action aside, the plot is silly at times and some of the characters are taken straight from the big book of bad movie stereotypes. But Stallone's devotees don't care, as this film can be seen now as nostalgic after seeing the big guy's recent flop movies (Get Carter). And Harlin, from Die Hard 2 fame, brings much of the same cool action and stunts, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Action at it's most outrageous (Except maybe for Face Off).

Summary: Cliffhanger Is Cool@
Review: hey...being the big Sylvester Stallone fan that I am I found this to be one of his best movies...sure he has his pathetic attempts to be funny but thats what makes him so cool!
The movie its kinda gory in cetain parts they don't hide anything when fights and guns begin to go start so be prepared for that. All in all this is a great movie it has a story to it and isn't all about strength@

Summary: ONE OF THE ALL-TIME BEST NONSTOP ACTION PACKED MOVIES!!
Review: Really, this is a GREAT movie, though not for the faint of heart. Stallone is, well, Stallone in his prime..ripling muscles and rock solid grit. The real gem performance is turned in by John Lithgow, who is the best darn evil villain I have ever seen on film. Lithgow, now known for the comedy "Third Rock..." is quite the composite of ultimate evil. Great movie for a boring rainy or snowy day, but not really one to view with the young ones. Teens are probably OK with this film but the magnitude of the violence is pretty high, though the blood, guts and gore are about average. I have owned this movie for years and it is definitely on my MUST OWN list.

Summary: The Original Mountain Thriller!
Review: The first movie I saw in this type of genre was Vertical Limit and I found that to be very boring and unexciting. A while later, I saw Cliffhanger and I was blown away. This movie was everything a good action movie should be. It had real thrills, great suspense and perfect villains. John Lithgow and Leon were great. I should warn weaker viewers out there however that this film has a lot of gore in it. A man is shot with a bolt gun, another is stabbed with a stalactite and the head busting scene is really bloody and gross. This movie is very exciting and fun to watch. Go buy it today.

Summary: Stallones Masterpiece
Review: This is a fast paced no let up thrills and spills of a film. John Lithgow is superb as the evil former agent turned to crime for more rewards. This movie put Stallone back on the map after recent disapointing films like Oscar.I recommend this to any action film fan.

Summary: What's to like?
Review: Bad script, bad acting, bad technical climbing techniques, impossible scenarios, etc make this movie laughable. And would someone tell me if the helicopter rescue team member is really laughing when the woman falls to her death in the opening scene? Sure looks it to me. Terrible casting as well. A really really bad movie.
