The pace of the movie rarely flags (neither does the idiocy, alas) and it's enough to warrant a marginal recommendation.

This is a movie that means to keep you involved and, preferably, gasping from start to finish . At that, it certainly does succeed.

When the characters just shut up and dangle, Vertical Limit becomes one heck of a wild time.
David Germain, Associated Press
Rotten
Certainly a movie in which people are forced to test themselves in unpleasant situations. But the people I have in mind are the people in the audience.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

But at its worst, Vertical Limit makes you weary with its stock characters and de rigueur explosions, avalanches, collapsing crevices and the like.
Steven Rosen, Denver Post
