The movie depicts the story of Peter Garrett (Chris O'Donnell), once an alpinist and now a wildlife photographer, who cannot obliterate from his memory a tragic event in his life. The Garrets enjoyed climbing mountains. One day while climbing in Utah, Peter, his father, Royce (Stuart Wilson), and his sister, Annie (Robin Tunney), were eyewitnesses to the death of two amatures falling down the mountain. This caused the Garrets to move quickly and slide off the side of the mountain. As the rope could hardly hold that much weight, the father made Peter cut it to save his and his sister's lives. The father died and Annie condemned her brother for making a fateful decision. Three years later, Annie, determined to continue her father's dream of climbing the world's toughest peaks, makes a risky attempt to ascend the perilous K-2. Having heard about Annie being trapped in an icy grave, Peter assembles a rescue team to save the three survivors of the expedition, his sister, Tom McLaren (Nicholas Lea) and Elliot Vaughn (Bill Paxton).

User Reviews of Vertical Limit

- 3.5 of 5 stars for this action/drama movie. It ain't no "Eiger Sanction", but, still it is a good climbing movie. A bit long and a bit slow with some quick action scenes embedded, it has too many unrelated things happening. Bottom line, brother tries to rescue sister while climbing on K2. Throw in some military types some nitro and some bad climbing weather and you have it. Oh, remember, never store your nitro in the sun, it goes boom!

- The movie is interesting with it's main fault being a common one: overdone action at the end. Along the way, however, it has many almost jaw-dropping scenes and some spectacular mountain scenery which looks great on the sharp DVD transfer. The stunt work in here is also incredible. Martin Campbell, the same director who did The Mask Of Zorro and Goldeneye, is good at producing eye-popping action scenes. The dialog at times is juvenile, but it could have been worse. The profanity was lower than expected, too. How accurate is it concerning mountain-climbing? Probably like most films: totally inaccurate, at least that's what a mountain- climbing expert told me, and I believe him. All in all, however, a far better film than I expected.....strictly for the entertainment.

- A rather bland thriller that relies way too much on coincidence. It's surprisingly well crafted, and the acting isn't too bad. But then the story elements feel cheesy and stupid. It's never a good sign when a movie has nitroglycerin in its plot, cuz you know that nitro is going to explode when the plot requires it to. The rest of the story feels hammy and stupid. Why couldn't they have made this a simple rescue movie? That would have been way more entertaining.

- Menonton film yang satu ini memang tidak ada bosannya, saya berkali-kali menonton tetap saja seperti nonton baru pertama. Tetap seru, tetap meneganggkan, tetap bersemangat. Mungkin menurut saya, ini adalah film 'terlengkap' yang pernah saya tonton, dan kenapa para (sebagian) trainer, lembaga training memakai atau memutar film ini pada saat memberikan training kepada sekelompok orang atau karyawan sebuah perusahaan. Karena banyak hal yang disampaikan dalam film ini, antara lain: kepemimpinan, manajemen, kepedulian, kasih sayang anggota keluarga, teman sejati, kepasrahan, perjuangan yang tiada henti (tidak ada kata menyerah), komunikasi, solidaritas, cinta suci, dll., bahkan toleransi antar agama pun terpapar dalam film ini. Yang menarik dari film ini tidak ada sedikit pun terselip adegan-adegan seksualitas yang barangkali untuk kelas film hollywood itu sudah menjadi hal yang lumrah, di mana sisi seksualitas harus diperhatikan agar menarik minat penonton. Ternyata tidak. Ada yang lebih berharga dari itu, yaitu sifat-sifat baik yang terkandung dalam setiap diri manusia. Bahwa manusia adalah makhluk sosial yang membutuhkan manusia lainnya di sekitarnya, yang harus terus berjuang demi hidup. Ditambah -bagi saya piribadi- setting dan latar outdornya (petualangan) itu yang menambah nilai lebih untuk saya. Sesuatu yang I wanna be pro in it tapi tak kesampaian. Saya senang dengan dunia outdoor seperti itu, hawa petualangan, tadabbur alam... Mudah-mudahan masih ada kesempatan jalan ke sana.

- Montgomery Wick: "Peter, do you know where you are? Above 24,000, you're at the vertical limit, you're already dying. Look at you. You can hardly stand. If you think you can stop me, go ahead." A high-adrenaline tale of young climber Peter Garrett (Chris O'Donnell), who must launch a treacherous and extraordinary rescue effort up K2, the world's second highest peak. Confronting both his own limitations and the awesome power of nature's uncontrollable elements, Peter risks his life to save his sister, Annie (Robin Tunney), and her summit team (Bill Paxton and Nicholas Lea) in a race against time. The team is trapped in an icy grave at 26,000 feet - a death zone above the vertical limit of endurance where the human body cannot survive for long. Every second counts as Peter enlists the help of a crew of fellow climbers, including eccentric, reclusive mountain man Montgomery Wick (Scott Glenn), to ascend the chilling might of the world's most feared peak to save her. This movie is the most boring, pretentious, uninteresting piece of shit that I've ever laid my eyes on. The character development is almost non-existent, the acting is horrible especially that lead girl, talk about cardboard performances. The story had potential but its the execution that failed miserably. The awkward plot scenarios, appalling camera angles and ridiculous dialogue. Chris O' Donnell can pass off as a lead actor but always he stars in atrocious movies like this. Bill Paxton's role as the supposed villain/entrepreneur will just make you laugh unintentionally. His reason for climbing K2 is pretty stupid. They're calling it a publicity stunt in the film but I think its a stupid way to promote your airline company. There are some boundaries to such things. Towards the end of the film, I was almost half asleep, the supposed high wire tension just made me even more sleepy, at that time I just wanted it to be done and over with. I remember when I was a youngling when I saw this for the first time on VHS, I totally loved this film but now, its totally different. I hated it the second time around. I guess times change. 1/5
