- "Vertical Limit"
(Reviewed November 18, 2000)
- A stupid script that trots out almost every cliche in the book. Characters who are so laughably unbelievable the actors should have walked off the set (or jumped off the mountain) in
embarrassment. Dumb coincidences. Terrible dialog. An awful ending.
Beautiful snow-covered mountains (and a few good action scenes of people sliding off of them) simply are not enough to make up for the dumb story. Go find a copy of "Everest" instead of
wasting
time on this junk. "Everest" is a non-fiction documentary from last year that is absolutely fascinating, about a doomed expedition to the summit. In other words, the same basic story as this movie, except
featuring people who actually are believable as people.
