Review of Vertical Limit (2000) by Jay L — 20 Feb 2013
"You have reached the Vertical Limit..".
A breathtakingly solid action film, Vertical Limit is straight forward, pure entertainment throughout. A wickedly realistic and jaw droppingly tense thrill ride that climbs to new heights and delivers on all fronts. Director Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, The Green Lantern, Edge Of Darkness, The Mask Of Zorro, Beyond Borders) crafted quite a suspenseful film that's quite effective at sucking the air out your lungs and leaving you with a fear of heights if you weren't already. The action sequences were splendidly thrilling throughout, the special effects are solid, the story keeps your interest and gorgeous cinematography will blow your mind. Vertical Limit was a favorite of mine when I was younger just for the significant amount of thrills, chills and suspense.
The acting could have been better, but I wasn't too worried about it. With performances from Bill Paxton, Chris O' Donnell, Robin Tunney and the always magnificent Scott Glenn.
