High adventure and vertigo blend with blood and bullets to make this tension-packed tall tale a spectacular avalanche of dizzying escapism. Sylvester Stallone plays the rock-climbing “Rocky” clone who loses his nerve during the opening peak rescue and must find it again when a gang of desperate criminals crash-lands during a blizzard on his mountain manor. Nail-biting stunts and photography that's close to the edge are the true stars of this alpine Die Hard, directed with breathless energy by Renny Harlin.
