Fresh: We are not at Cliffhanger for realism; we're there for the cliffhanging, and there's plenty of it.
-Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine, July 25, 2010Fresh: Big-budget nonsense that still manages to provide plenty of thrills thanks to its high-rise settings.
-, Film4, July 25, 2010Fresh: Despite the don't-look-down Olympian settings, Cliffhanger's spirit is brutal and earthbound. The movie is like one of those computer-designed simulator rides that whip you around until you're dizzy and aching but don't actually take you anywhere.
-Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly, July 07, 2010Fresh: Cliffhanger lives up to its title as a two-hour rollercoaster ride that never stops.
-Todd McCarthy, Variety, March 26, 2009
From beginning to end lots of action. One of my fav Stallone films
