Cliffhanger Reviews

We are not at Cliffhanger for realism; we're there for the cliffhanging, and there's plenty of it.

Full Review

Big-budget nonsense that still manages to provide plenty of thrills thanks to its high-rise settings.

It may go down in screen history as the nail in the coffin of the Die Hard sub-genre, in which all the key elements of that blockbuster have been recycled to the point of self-parody.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Despite the don't-look-down Olympian settings, Cliffhanger's spirit is brutal and earthbound. The movie is like one of those computer-designed simulator rides that whip you around until you're dizzy and aching but don't actually take you anywhere.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

As preposterous as this "Die Hard on a mountain" flick is, Cliffhanger remains one of the zestier big-budget action pictures of the nineties. [Blu-ray]

Cliffhanger lives up to its title as a two-hour rollercoaster ride that never stops.

One of Stallone's best. Tense and Terrific.

A popcorn summer movie with Stallone where he belongs, in the wilderness as a primitive hero fighting villains and the elements.

| Original Score: 4/5

It is a big-scale action adventure with plenty of blood and blasts. It resembles some Shakespeare plays only in that by the end of the story almost all the characters are laying in pools of blood.
