Cliffhanger

"Action filmmaking at its best. A career high for director Harlin and arguably Stallone as well (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"One of the best action thrillers of the 90s (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"This is a poor man's 'Die Hard'. It has the explosions, gunplay, and spectacular stunts, but little of the wit and intelligence. In other words, it's a typical summer action flick (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"[It] delivers precisely what it promises. It's a big-budget extravaganza with a lot of stunts and special effects (...) True, there's not a moment in the plot that I could believe (...) That didn't bother me for an instant (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"[It] is the modern equivalent of throwing Christians to the lions. It's an eroticism of nastiness -- triple-X fare for dirty old men in raincoats. If you resist this sleazy gorefest, you'll be right to feel proud of yourself." 

"[It] no doubt makes for a great coming attraction, but as a two-hour movie its claims are much more problematic." 

"Take away the mountains and what you have is a howlingly bad action film"
