Editorial Reviews
"...The special effects seen here are as perfect and hard-won as [Stallone's] musculature, and that's saying a lot..."
New York Times - p.C1 - Janet Maslin (05/28/1993)
"...CLIFFHANGER lives up to is title as a two-hour rollercoaster ride that never stops from first minute to last. A high-octane action suspenser with thrilling vertiginous footage unlike anything seen before in a feature..."
Variety - Todd McCarthy (05/24/1993)
"...It is one of the achievements of the movie to convince us that Lithgow and Stallone are a good match....Many of the most hazardous stunts in this movie were obviously not faked..."
