Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
But at its worst, Vertical Limit makes you weary with its stock characters and de rigueur explosions, avalanches, collapsing crevices and the like.

rotten:
Certainly a movie in which people are forced to test themselves in unpleasant situations. But the people I have in mind are the people in the audience.

When the characters just shut up and dangle, Vertical Limit becomes one heck of a wild time.

fresh:
This is a movie that means to keep you involved and, preferably, gasping from start to finish . At that, it certainly does succeed.

fresh:
The pace of the movie rarely flags (neither does the idiocy, alas) and it's enough to warrant a marginal recommendation.
