Vertical Limit

Movie: Vertical Limit

Main Actors: Chris O’Donnell and Robin Tunney

MPAA Rating: PG-13

Passionate Expressions: A few, but for the most part the story was not believable enough to warrant many.

Useless Vulgar Language: Lots more than was called for.

Sex in a Good Light: Nope

Sex in a Bad Light: Both in words and partial nudity, sex was not treated well.

Manly Violence: There is some. Chris O’Donnell’s character seemed centered around this kind of violence.

Action Violence: This is what mostly comprised the movie. I think this movie tried to be an amped up PG-13 version of Cliffhanger, but instead was closer to the standard Hollywood disaster movie, kind of like The Core.

Pointless Violence: Didn’t really see any of this either.

Manly Rating: C

Food to Watch With: Andes Mints, cause it says Andes on the box, like the mountains.

Plot Synopsis: Evil Texan billionaire tries to climb K2 and gets his team into a heap of trouble. Meanwhile a conflicted O’Donnell tries to rescue his sister who is trapped with the Evil Texan.

Review: I won’t waste too much of your time with this one. Don’t discard this movie, if you are looking for a movie to just sit back and be entertained without the kids then this one works. It is a pure action/adventure movie that doesn’t really have a point and was smart enough to not spend too long on the sappy parts. Whenever I feel in an outdoorsy mood and I just want to kick back for a while I might think about watching this one. But again, there are some parts in this one that might make you think twice before watching this one with your kids. Watch it first yourself before you watch it with your family.

Life Lessons: Scott Glenn is tougher then you are.

Summary: Decent action movie that was geared more toward the teenager then the adult.

Would I Watch This Again: Once in a blue moon.
