JB: Part
3 of Stallone movies you hate to love (behind Rocky and Cobra).
Filmed completely in the Alps of Italy, Harlin fills this film with
beautiful cinematography to add to a well-directed and suspenseful
film. And more action than you can shake a Yeti at. Lithgow plays
the money hungry murderer who, since he's against Stallone and Janine
Turner (ugh), you root for. Skip the first bit where girl falls
and Rooker goes nutso about it (I'd like to see HIM try it). Stallone
finally writes a movie I can't sleep through. Most notable for being
the only film both Shawn and I sat through, with different people
no less, with no one else in the theater.
Shawn:
One fact that will never change: I hate Renny Harlin movies. He
makes his characters and stories so irrational, stupid, and annoying
it's hard to stand them at all. Cliffhanger has enough suspenseful
action and cool imagery though to save this movie from completely
sucking. Movie will grow on you the more you see it because you'll
get used to the pure stupid nature of it all.
