this movie set out to be good than the average action movie and in that regard they succeed . this movie have spectacular cinematography feature spectacular mountain snow and height and a very fit stallone put in a good performance a well and an exciting plot and and a great performance from it main villain becouse he will really shock you with his evil way . the movie do not rank an all time great becouse of the weak screen play . the plot and story cry for this movie to make stallone an extra special human and much like the rambo or rocky or bond movie character . they choose to humanise stallone character in this one which be ok but consider the plot style and weaken the excitement factor . also and the dialogue be cheesy and carelessly condescend at time . the script should have be more realistic and less talky . another weak point be the unrealistic shooting scene . the movie maker should have be more carefull how they hadled the shoot hit and miss . they should have continue the quality of the scene of the shooting sequence during the plane hijack early in the movie . instead and they decide to water down a lot of the shooting sequence ( ala a team tv series ) as soon a the villain set foot on the mountain tops . this movie have a lot of all time great potential . crisp action sequence and good dialogue and more rambo or rocky style emotion or determination from stallone would have take this movie to a high level . i know this be not stallone fault . i sense the movie director want to tone down stallone character and try to steal the movie by take credit for his direction which be not all that great if not for his cinematographer . sill a good movie though .
