Vertical Limit (2000) 8/10

Starring : Chris O’Donnell, Robin Tunney, Bill Paxton, Scott Glenn
Director : Martin Campbell
Running Time : 120 mins

Professional climber Peter Garrett (O’Donnell) is forced to relive one of the darkest moments in his life when his sister Annie (Tunney) and her climbing team get trapped on a part of K2 where the limits at which they can survive are forced to breaking point.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable action movie which fans of Cliffhanger or Twister will enjoy immensely. The acting might not be that great from the leads – I didn’t even remember that Chris O’Donnell was in this – but the action and suspense more than make up for this as the movie builds up to its epic conclusion and the clock slowly begins to run out…
