Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Steineded How sad is this?

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

classicsoncall Every once in a while I like to take in a Jean-Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagall flick just for the escapist value. Something like this serves the same purpose but without the martial arts mayhem. The thought that kept going through my mind as I watched the mountain climbing segments was how in the heck the film makers ever staged those scenes without putting the actors in mortal jeopardy. Stallone hanging by one arm directly over a thousand foot drop? - I really don't think so, but it sure looked that way from the vantage point of one's living room couch. This movie is a part adventure/part caper story, and the bad guys might have gotten away with their heist if they had thought through some of the possible unintended consequences. But we know that's never the case with pictures like this. The main thing I couldn't understand was how Gabe (Stallone) and Jessie (Janine Turner) managed to find cases number two and three after the first one wound up disintegrated. What did they have to go on? I guess by that point in the movie one shouldn't have to ask such a ridiculous question.

adonis98-743-186503 I saw this movie recently and wow it's still amazing Stallone is great as usual, Michael Rooker and even John Lithgow as the bad guy? it works. I still don't understand how this director went from this movie which is very very good and directed Legend of Hercules? I mean how? how did this happened? Anyways like i said on the summary Cliffhanger is an action packed adventure that will keep you at the edge of your seat and especially if you haven't seen the behind the scenes footage please do because it will take your breath away i mean it. The movie starts with a bang and also ends with another big bang 1993 was a great year for Stallone i guess he made this and then Demolition Man another classic movie.

A_Different_Drummer The year was 1993 and arguably SS was at the peak of a career so long that even he could not predicted it.He had just rebuilt his body for the 100th time and wanted to try something different.This was it. Almost maybe possibly you would not recognize Sly as Sly, he just seems like a regular action hero. He also got a chance to perfect his patented "Sly running for his life slow-mo" move which would turn up in most of his subsequent films.In fact this was a one and done. He never took this sort of role again preferring either Rocky variations, Mission Impossible variations, or roles involving a suit and tie and a sharp outfit.So the film has historical value mainly As a film ... it is OK. Thats all. Too coincidences and Lithgow is miscast, he is playing Lex Luthor instead of a regular criminal on the run.

OllieSuave-007 Sylvester Stallone stars in an action thriller where his character, Gabe Walker, has to deal with a tragedy that occurred while climbing a mountain range. Meanwhile, a group of thieves led by Eric Qualen (John Lithgow) hijack a $100,000,000 delivery but their plans go awry and they wound up crashing into the mountain range. After they radio for help, Gabe and his partner Hal Tucker (Michael Rooker) respond, not knowing they would be forced to guide the thieves to locate the money.This is an exciting little action flick full of thrills and roller-coaster rides as our heroes attempt to scale the mountain in search for the missing money before the bad guys do. Thrown in the mix is a daring rescue mission and awesome stunt work. Stallone makes a formidable action hero while Lithgow makes a ruthless, love-to-hate lead villain. The plot is fast-paced and the acting is serviceable, albeit a little corny at times. One major issue I had is that I didn't like the part where the villains first appear before Gabe and Hal. There was no suspense or tension built-up like you would normally see in action movies when the film's protagonist first sees the antagonists.Other than some minor set-backs, it's a neat action flick to watch for a friends night-out.Grade B-
