 Vertical Limit Vertical Limit Quote: Vertical Limit is a 2000 thriller action film directed by New Zealander Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, Casino Royale, The Mask of Zorro) starring, among others, Chris O'Donnell, Bill Paxton, Robin Tunney and Scott Glenn. The film was shot on several locations including Monument Valley, New Zealand and Pakistan. A pretty tense, little action flick. Entertaining stuff. B

This movie is one of the biggest positive surprises I have ever witnessed in a movie theatres. It is far from a perfect movie per se. The characters are clichéd and the storyline is very thin with some revenge plot mixed into it. But the whole movie is one of the most suspenseful and tense I have ever seen. It literally kept me on the edge of my seat for long periods of time and not even for a second did this movie get boring. A great thrilling experience that made my Top 10 of 2000.

Nah. It was pretty fucking bad. I remember how much I loved that first teaser trailer, though. I thought this was gonna be so good. Martin Campbell is awfully overrated as an action director.

Not bad. I wasn't real interested in it, but it had some neat scenes. I don't remember any of the characters though, or even who was in it.

Terrible, terrible movie.
It rivals The Day After Tommorow.

Only good thing I brought out of this was seeing Robin Tunney in tight climber gear and even that isn't enough compensation.
Althou it does join a very short list of hollywood movies that feature the Kashmir conflict. Central thing learned, people like firing artillary.

Oh god I was so excited when I saw those trailers of people jumping from one end of cliffs to the other with pick axes, or of that last minute save from the cliff with it. While many of the money shots were shown, it was still a very entertaining, bombastic thriller.

At the time it came out it was one of my most anticipated movies ever. The trailer was sooo awesome. The movie was a letdown after all my high expectations but when it's now on TV I'll watch it every time. Very entertaing but not as awesome as the trailer made it look. B+
