tjhFeb 15, 20109This is a very enjoyable and gripping film. I think the criticism of the politics is silly--this is a climbing picture, and one you should see on the big screen. It won't be as good on DVD. Is it a great film? No. But, it's very enjoyable.

Nov 30, 20109Loved it. Recommended it to my friends. Guys will like it, chicks may not. I've been rock climbing (not those fake walls at the gym) and this movie makes you realize how tough it is, especially back before WWII.

70More than delivers on the excitement and terror of this existential flirtation with one's own mortality. Where it falters is trying to link this event to Nazi-era politics and a feeble love story.

70An often grippingly staged mountain movie that's good but not great.

Director Philipp Stölzl makes the movie a tad more political (i.e., anti-Nazi) than it needs to be, but Fürmann's stoic performance reduces the story to its harsh, true fundamentals.
