Summary: It is a Sylvester Stallone's show.
Review: Sylvester Stallone turned upside down did show aging effect on his body.

Yet, his meticulous touches in face actions were still near perfecto. Bravo, if Sylvester Stallone could still do one movie like that, the audience will be lucky.

Without Sylvester Stallone to be there, the show might be only worth watching for the fall of Sarah and the concentrated focus of Jessica in rescuing. But even those, anybody can do the work.

Sylvester Stallone chose a tough career. Acting is a fun but difficult living. This actor must love acting. The real sense of relieving from acting is again viewed in his final note where he held Jessica but showing all the signs ready to move on to either the reality of the life or to another acting role.

Summary: Worthy of the "Die hard" genre
Review: Although this movie did not have as many inside jokes ("I had fifty bucks bet on those ***holes") and as much character development ("she's heard me tell her a million times 'I love you' but she's never heard me say 'I'm sorry.' Would you tell her that for me Al? Tell her John says he's sorry") as Die Hard, Lithgow is, dare I say it, as good as Rickman, and the action sequences are more varied, more plentiful and more realistic. The endings to both satisfy and the overall coherence of the plot in both is excellent. Buy both "Cliffhanger" and "Die Hard" for your action collections.

Summary: Return to Form for Sly
Review: After a string of ill-conceived comedies, Stallone returned to what he did best in 1993; the action junket. Armed this time with a pedigree to prove, and a director that knows his stuff (Renny Harlin), Sly became a box-office sensation once more, and wowed audiences all over the world with this phenomenal thriller.

The acting is average, with a few bright spots; John Lithgow (in his third incarnation as a villain--the others being "Ricochet" and "Raising Cain") overshadowing Stallone in a battle of one-liners, and Michael Rooker, who always manages to put in a solid effort in whatever film he's in. The real star of this movie, however, isn't the superbly filmed action, but the cinematography.

Set in the Italian Dolemites, the scenery is breathtaking--some of the best mountain footage seen in theatres in a long time. When there's a break in the action, you're enthralled by the background, which isn't always the case with any movie, let alone an action flick. Much props to the director for filming most of this movie on location.

The DVD is pretty good, and the commentary track is reasonable--but with DTS sound, and a quality surround system, this movie looks and sounds phenomenal. They've done a great job with the video transfer, considering that DVDs would only become popular about five years after this film was released.
