Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Cliffhanger was a 1994 comeback of sorts for action hero Sylvester Stallone, this time thanks to director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2) and some spectacularly rugged and vertigo-inducing, high-mountain terrain. The opening sequence alone delivers what the title promises, and there's an extraordinary airplane stunt that was later reprised, with modifications, in Air Force One. Stallone, looking as tough and craggy as the mountains themselves, is a rescue climber who finds himself going after a gang of crooks (headed by John Lithgow in his bad-guy mode) who've hijacked a US Treasury plane and crash landed in the Rockies with millions of bucks. Outrageous action-packed, snow-packed and scenery-packed chase sequences (featuring whirring helicopters, whooshing skis, popping gunfire and clanging pitons that earned the movie Oscar nominations for sound and sound editing) abound. --Jim Emerson, Amazon.com




Rating: - Better than expected
The cover looks horrible, the trailers were poor but the finished film is great, with decent acting, FX, Story this film is a great addition to Sylvester Stallone's Movie Career.

Rating: - Come for the scenery, stay for the story
Cliffhanger is a wonderful piece of on-location cinema. Admittedly it is not filmed in the Rockies as it is set but rather a mountain range in Italy, but you get the idea! The film has some wonderful visuals throughout that have been mastered wonderfully onto DVD. The story is quite original and the acting is good to go with it, the soundtrack also is fantastic. As one reviewer has mentioned this has been edited somewhat to remove some of the gorier violence which is a bit of a shame, however overall ... Read More

Rating: - Super-charged, heart-racing, suspense-filled action thrill ride
There is an avalanche of talent in "Cliffhanger." Stallone is an unstoppable force and incredible action hero. After watching "Cliffhanger," I'm convinced that Stallone was the only man for this job. Stallone had the fire in his eyes for this part that told me he means business. Only true action stars have the fire I saw; furthermore, I was fascinated with the strength, power and conviction with which he took on the role.

Another reason I enjoyed "Cliffhanger" was the writing because it contained ... Read More

Rating: - FEAR OF HEIGHTS?
Wow in the opening scene, on a wire, suspended over an abyss. I was on the edge of my seat as Sly Stallone tried to save his friend's girlfriend.

Sly is a mountain rescue climber and is held captive by a group of bad guys, looking for cases of treasury cash, heisted cleverly in mid-air and dropped during an explosion. Sly and his buddy are used to guide the group to the homing signals of the cases. Sly escapes and evades his captors in a series of brilliant climbing scenes.
