One of the best, most well done action movies ever made.
Thoughts?

i haven't seen this movie in a while, don't recall it being as good as you say it is though...hardly much with stallone is IMO (cept for the Rocky movies minues III and V, oh and Rambo)

When I first saw the movie it was good. I was surprised because it didn't get any press about it.

there's a death in the first like 2 mins...

No, that scene is more like 10 minutes long. I think it's one of the best opening scenes ever. I mean, there's so much tension...it's done perfectly.

Cliffhanger is the last good movie Renny Harlin's made.

The intro scene isn't too shabby as far as action films are concerned, but everything that comes afterward is just brainless drivel with just as many unbelievable situations as the next action flick.

that opening death scene is fuckin sick. sick man.

i havent seen it in forever, but i was suprised by how much i liked it the first time i saw it
