Jacob B Yeah, Die Hard 2 and The Long Kiss Goodnight were better entries in Renny Harlin's filmography than Cliffhanger. Cliffhanger isn't a bad movie, I was just expecting Harlin to have knocked this film out of the park the same way Jan de Bont would do with Speed a year later. On the other hand, a Razzie nomination for Worst Picture was a bit much when this wasn't even critically lambasted to begin with. Cliffhanger certainly has its thrilling moments, surprisingly good score, entertaining villains and mostly good performances all around (wait, GOTG Vol. 2 was a REUNION for Stallone and Michael Rooker?) but it also has some ludicrous moments such as Stallone not being affected by hypothermia + implausible stuntwork, some unintentionally hilarious moments such as in that harrowing prologue when this old guy looks like he's smiling and we, the viewers, can blatantly see it, taking us out of the moment and probably peaking too early. I find it ironic that the best moments from the film are the scene set before the plot kicks off and, when it does get going, doesn't have Stallone or anybody he has a personal connection to involved. The latter has that iconic stunt but there's also the way one character goes out like a boss and is pretty much the instigator of the villains' impending doom. While the rest of the movie does have moments that are either awesome or funny, it never quite reaches the same heights as those scenes did. Not bad for a more altitude-focused Die Hard clone but given the choice between the two, I'd take Speed in a heartbeat. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Shaun R Entertaining 90s action with some memorable scenes. One of the better actions of that era. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Alec B Enormously silly but very entertaining. We forget that there was a time when Renny Harlin's maximalist approach to action movies yielded good results. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review thiago s Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas até que foram bacaninhas, o elenco até que é bacaninha e ajuda a melhorar um pouco o filme, mas a história do stallone ser um alpinista e as cenas serem nas montanhas fez o filme ficar um pouco fraco, akgumas cenas até deram uma salvada no filme. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Craig B One of the best action movies of all time. Lithgow plays a classic villain. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Jerod S Decent idea, but corny lines and Lithgow as the bad guy can't surmount Stalone hanging on the cliffside.
