Cliffhanger description Cliffhanger was a 1994 comeback of sorts for action hero Sylvester Stallone, this time thanks to director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2 and Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) and some spectacularly rugged and vertigo-inducing high- mountain terrain. The opening sequence alone delivers what the title promises, and there's a doozy of an 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 U.S. Treasury plane and crash landed in the Rockies (played by the Italian Dolomites) 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) take full advantage of the digital video disc's Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. --Jim Emerson |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Why? Ehh... |
| I really wanted to like this movie. I rock climb, and I love Stallone movies, but I gotta know if anyone else thought the overuse of the F-word got obnoxious. For the first thirty minutes or so I was like, "OK whatever, the word does sound pretty hard core I guess." An hour later when they were still throwing it around like tomatoes at the La Tomatina festival, I wanted to turn it off and didn't for the sake of seeing how it ended. The action is GREAT! My only complaint is with the F-bombs. Oh, and the pitiful acting done by the "Third Rock from the Sun" guy. I liked him too. Man. That was really poor casting. | |
