Sylvester Stallone obviously plays the hero this time without the invincibility or the arsenal to back him up. The plot never feels secondary to the action building upon its premise with competent writing making the most of its plot. Some bad lines creep their way onto the screen though it adds the fun hearing goofy lines being said. Not a negative since the film does so for thrills which it has plenty off. As for it depiction of rock climbing it is very off and easy to spot the errors. Killing the usual innocents to get the idea of his coldness across without being developed much and making the occasional dumb choices. The villain is by no means bad since you will want to see his demise, but ultimately is a routine baddie. Our heroes are given more depth than the villain himself. Having to rely more so on brain and speed to survive the natural conditions against them than simply having the best weapons. As oppose some 'Die Hard' clones our hero and villain have the force of nature against them.

One could essentially call this 'Die Hard' in the mountains, but that shouldn't take anything away from the film itself.

While Stallone doesn't always hit the mark Cliffhanger is one of those films that gives us thrilling action without tossing the plot like some of Stallone's other action ventures.Ĭliffhanger plot is about an expert climber who finds himself taken hostage with a fellow friend by a gang of dangerous criminals on the search for suitcases full of stolen cash in the Rocky Mountains. From bad choices like choosing to star in 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot', bad directorial efforts like 'Staying Alive', and proving his acting chops in 'Cop Land' which he did at the cost of his career being in a stump for a decade. Sylvester Stallone will always hold a place in film history for writing and starring in the original 'Rocky', but the rest of the his career never aspired to the same height.
