"Kill a few people, they call you a murderer. Kill a million and you're a conqueror. Go figure."

Filmmaker Renny Harlin is no stranger to action films, and over the years he has proved skilled at staging exciting action set-pieces. Likewise, Sylvester Stallone was an acknowledged action super-star by the late '80s. During the early 1990s, Stallone's attempts to branch out into other... read more

By now, I must have seen most of the action flicks starring Sylvester Stallone and, to be honest, I think that most of them are pretty weak and boring but I have to admit that they are a few exceptions and this movie is definitely one of them. Indeed, I actually saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released and, since then, it has always been one of my guilty pleasures. Indeed, I... read more

"Some great action scenes with the usual bad acting from Stallone and surprising turn to the dark side for Lithgow - he pulls it off."

"28th of April, Digiboksi Harlinin elokuvat ovat kaikki korkeintaan keskitason toimintarymistelyitä ja Cliffhanger onkin Die Hard 2:n ohella miehen siedettävämpää tuotantoa.

"Re-Watched 01/13/2017 Rating 7.0/10 Format: Blu Ray While its story is pretty average its cinematography sets it apart from other action movies from its time. I hadn't watched this movie in years but i was really surprised to see how much i ended up liking it despite its lukewarm score. "
