Title: People get blowed up...blowed up real good!
Review: This film has its moments, though few. If any of you remember the yahoo film reviewers on the old SCTV comedy show, Big Bob McSomething and Billy Saul Hurrock, I think? They rated films highly based on the number of excrutiating explosions. Well those boys would have really liked Vertical Limit. And, yes, people do get blowed up, blowed up real good, with nitro.Not that it is a totally bad film. The scenery is beautiful, but then again it is the high Himaliyas. The characters are corny and caricatures of those EXTREME types you see all summer. You know, always running, biking, climbing, yada, yada, yada. Scott Glenn as the zen mountain man pondering savior of them all is almost comical. This all being said, Vertical Limit, will take up an evening if there is nothing else to do.
