Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Susan Stark, Detroit News: This is a movie that means to keep you involved and, preferably, gasping from start to finish . At that, it certainly does succeed. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: Director Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro, Goldeneye) sets out to meld a heart-tugging tale of reconciliation with a high-altitude thriller. For the most part he succeeds. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The pace of the movie rarely flags (neither does the idiocy, alas) and it's enough to warrant a marginal recommendation. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: Lumbers from lardy exposition to climax overload. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Action is what this movie does best. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: While a good deal of Vertical Limit is undeniably by the numbers, it has become increasingly rare to see those digits whipped into this kind of shape. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: The film has unusually witty dialogue for a movie of this genre. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: But at its worst, Vertical Limit makes you weary with its stock characters and de rigueur explosions, avalanches, collapsing crevices and the like. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Those of us who can't help but tweak our casual acrophobia by peering down from a 20 story balcony will find it hard to pass up a movie like Vertical Limit. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: There's a huge surplus of edge-of-your-seat whatevers in this thin-air thriller about a rescue mission on K2. But by the end, you can't tell who's got more bruises: the actors or your nerves. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: It's possible to experience a few white knuckle moments without being in danger of catching frostbite. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Made from obvious formulas and pulp novel conflicts, but strongly acted and well crafted. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: The picture cuts from story thread to story thread, and in such a choppy fashion that we're rarely given the vistas that would allow us to take in the physical layout of the action. Read more
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle: The mountain-rescue movie Vertical Limit doesn't just operate at the height of ludicrousness; it also puts marshmallow Chris O'Donnell in the business of saving lives. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Possibly the most suspense-charged mountain-climbing movie ever made. Read more
