Amazon.co.uk Review
Vertical Limit is the film for all those mountain-climbing aficionados who devoured Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air and similar books. It attempts to translate man-against-the-mountain adventure into compelling, albeit fictional, drama. But while the climbing action is pretty darn breathtaking, somebody forgot to put the brakes on the cliche machine while penning the screenplay. Two siblings (Chris O'Donnell and Robin Tunney) are mentally scarred by a climbing accident in which their father died to save them. She becomes a famous mountain climber; he never climbs again. On one of her climbs an avalanche leaves her stranded and only her determined brother can bring her back, along with a ragtag team of rescuers. It's easy to pick out the rest of the story from here, but Vertical Limit is less about the hackneyed plot than it is about putting its characters into increasingly dangerous situations and hanging them precariously over various mountainsides. It's a credit to director Martin Campbell (GoldenEye) that the impressive action keeps the film moving along past the bordering-on-absurd plot twists. O'Donnell tosses his mane of fluffy hair admirably, but it's still disheartening to see this once-promising actor turning into a pretty-boy stand-in; only Glenn manages to overcome his character's predictability. Mountaineering enthusiasts will recognise a cameo by world-renowned climber Ed Viesturs, who as an actor proves that he's... a very good mountain climber. --Mark Englehart, Amazon.com

Starring Chris o'Donnel this high octane action adventure brings a lot of suspence and edge of your seat action. From the director of Goldeneye Vertical limit is set on the K2 the most feared mountain in the world, and when Robin tunney gets stuck on K2 its up to O'Donnel to save her. Do not hesitate to buy this amazing action adventure, you will not be disapointed.
Fantastic First Class Action & Scenery & Jump off your seat January 6, 2002
First class action
Nail biting plot and makes you jump off your seat.
First class cinema sound. Pehaps it for the older mature viewers going by the ratings of other people pehaps the pub is the best place for them. Good value for money. First class extra features including the National Geographic Program about the K2.
Actually not that bad June 25, 2007
I remember when I went to see this at the cinema when it came out. I had just turned fifteen and had seen a few tv spots of it as well as some posters etc and I thought 'Vertical Limit....Looks like it could be as good as Cliffhanger which is great'. So I went with my dad and saw it.
I remember being blown away literally for two hours with non-stop action and gorgeous and sexy women and characters you care about. It was right up my street. I loved it so much that when it came out on DVD I got myself a copy and watched it lots of times since. However there was a long period where I lost track of it in my house as I was sorting stuff around but I managed to find it today and hope to watch it tonight! I'm sure I'll feel fifteen all over again.
Like Cliffhanger? Give this a try because although the villain maybe to some a little shallow, that sort of thing makes a nice fresh change.
Get it or at least rent it.
