Vertical Limit

Starring: Chris O'Donnell, Bill Paxton, Robin Tunney, and Scott Glenn

Directed by: Martin Campbell

Plot: A rich oil tycoon (Paxton) hires the world's best mountain climbers to take him up the mountain K2. A sudden storm strikes, and a rescue team led by one of the climber's brother (O'Donnell) has about 2 and a half days to find them and rescue them.

My thoughts: Big on heart-pounding thrills, low on plot and character development. Actually, that about sums it up.

Score: 7 out of 10
