to be honest and i do not like that much this movie when i saw it for the first time . but i guess the trouble be that i haven not see it in a theater . big mistake . because the # 1 thing to see in cliffhanger be the setting and # 2 be the cinematography . try to see this movie on the large tv possible and a great sound system . the music be good and put the movie to a high level ( and a commercial potential ) . the more i see it and the more i like it . it definitely one of renny harlin best movie . this guy know about action . die hard 2 and the long kiss good bye and etc . and it particularly good in this movie . the special effect be great and spectacular . stallone really need that movie get back with success . still good to see him .
