Cliffhanger

"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" 

"[It] does its damnedest to see that the audience gets its money's worth of thrills. But for all the state-of-the-art stunt work, the movie has little personality; it's ice cream without flavor." 

"Much of it is effective, but much of it is just too much-too relentless, too overpowering and too mean-spirited-to be the kind of rousing adventure it means to be."
