Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Supplemental Materials
Review: Sure, the diaglogue is exceedingly bad, but this is a fun and exciting action movie nonetheless. You don't have to be a Stallone fan to enjoy this-- it's head-and-shoulders above much of his filmography.

The Collector's Edition DVD is packed with features. There are two commentary tracks that are informative as well as entertaining (Stallone himself provides commentary along with director Renny Harlin on one track). There is a 20 minute behind-the-scenes program, as well as some deleted sequences and quite a bit more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: John Lithgow at his best
Review: John Lithgow proves his status as a great actor. Everybody knows that Stallone is a pretty good actor in an action film but Lithgow proves his versatility. Lithgow, who is likely best known from 3rd Rock from the Sun, gives a brilliant performance as a ruthless killer out for money. It is hard to believe that this is the same actor that did Harry and the Henderson's.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: action movie, accept it
Review: Cliffhanger is an all out action movie, and this should not be forgotten. Although there are a few blaringly obvious mistakes in the climbing sequence, this does not take away the fact that this movie achives what it sets out to do: entertain the action-movie junkies. This movie is a must for all of the Sylvester Stallone fans out there, and for anyone who enjoys the typical one-man-aginst-the-bad-guys movies. John Lithgow is excellent as the baddy, although he does always look a bit to kind. Sly Stallone does what he does best, running around saving people with as little clothes on as he can possibly manage, and the other cast work well as either bad guys or good guys. Warning though for those weaker viewers out there, this movie is gory, the deaths scenes being the worst.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: reality: no check. Sadism: plentiful. Good acting: nope!
Review: Was that Stallone supposed to take climbing classes before playing a climber? He obviously did not take too many acting classes before hitting the big screen either. One star for scenery, the rest of this flick is probably good enough for those folks who don't care about techicalities and especially who enjoy sadistic scenes where people are brutally tortured and killed only out of pure enjoyment of torturing/killing.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: AVERAGE STALLONE, BUT GOOD ACTION
Review: There are great action sequences, but one reviewer below showed the great ammount of technical mistakes made in the opener sequence. (the girl hanging above the abyss) Anyway, there is good action and some unecessarily violent deaths (the bad guys, of course, have always the most violent deaths). Stallone tried to revocer from failured comedies, and this was a good start.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cliffhanger is Typical
Review: This movie is no doubt one of stallones' best,but its a typical action-adventure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best stallone in years!
Review: I have this movie in normal edition,all I can say about this DVD is the fantastic beginning,which works like an invitation for the rest of the movie.Stallone stands like co-star of Lithgow,the bad guy, and that`s good.Great work of Renny Harlin and all the support cast.Ah,with the extras,worth the 5 stars.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: many mistakes
Review: A somewhat corny, but good action packed thriller. There are many problems and mistakes in the movie to. Mainly in the begining sequence before the women has a problem. 1> You would never rely on one peton as a peace of transport equipment. 2> If the clip of her harness broke it would not release her. Her leg loops would still be on and she could easly recover. 3> When Stalone went to rescue her, as he reached for her with one hand the other had was holding his entire body weight up. (there was no weight on the pully or the carabiner. He should of just let go of the wire and reached for her with both hands. 4> When the man says the cable is not rigged for two people, that is only because of the damn peton. The cable is 7 gauge and could hold over 25Kn about 5620 lbs. and the helicopter could hold twice that much. 5> There is no such thing as a bolt gun.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring Flick with ONE Good Part
Review: This movie bored the devil out of me; it's nothing special - same old stunts, same archetypical bad guy, same narrow escapes, blah, blah,blah.. There was, however, one good part - good because it was so laughable. In the beginning scene, when Stallone's character is trying to save the girl who falls, Stallone's helicopter pilot is LAUGHING. It's true! I think the actor is supposed to be showing concern or fright, but he's not - he is LAUGHING! If you don't believe me, check it out. It's highly laughable!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: incredibly stupid at many levels
Review: i honestly cannot understand how anyone could have found this flick entertaining. i was told to watch it for the climbing scenes--from a technical standpoint they were laughable (excepting the opening few seconds). the story line was moronic. apart from a (very) few nice scenics, this was a bad joke and complete waste of time. i haven't bothered to watch a stallone flick since.
