An average movie

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 must have been about 13 years old at the time and I thought the whole thing was seriously entertaining. I mean, obviously, I have actually no knowledge about rock-climbing and, if someone would tell me that the whole thing was grossly inaccurate, I wouldn’t be surprised. Personally, probably because I’m afraid of heights, I have always been fascinated by movies dealing with rock-climbing and, even though this movie was not really realistic, it is still one of the most entertaining blockbusters in this genre. Concerning Renny Harlin, after ‘Die Hard 2’, it was another solid directing effort but it all went down from here, I’m afraid. To conclude, even though it was definitely not a masterpiece, I really have a weak spot for the damned thing and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
