Cliffhanger (Blu-ray Disc, 2010)

While not an all time classic, Cliffhanger is one of the better action movies of the 1990's and probably Stallone's last great action flick (along with "Demolition Man") before taking a long break from the genre for what seemed like years. Okay, not so much a break but lets face it, "Assassins" "Judge Dredd" and "The Specialist" were not the high points of Sly's carreer.

So in this one a mid air heist goes wrong and suitcases of money are dropped on random mountain tops. Enter Gabe Walker (Stallone) who is back visiting his ex-girlfriend and old friend for the first time in a year since a terrible accident where his best friends girl was killed while Gabe tried (and failed) to save her. Gabe and Hal (the former best friend, he still blames Gabe for the death of his girl) are grabbed by the bad guys to track down the suitcases full of cash. After disposing of Gabe (or so the bad guys think) he teams up with his old flame Jessie to try and grab the cases of money before the baddies can.

With lots of action and suspense, this was director Renny Harlin's last big movie before he almost made career suicide by directing the bomb "Cutthroat Island" (and killing a production company in the process) If you are a fan of Stallone, you should not hesitate to grab this one as it is one of his better movies, heck if you like explosions, action and some bad one liners, this should be right up your alley too. Oh yeah, and lets not forget John Lithgow as the bad guy who plays the role in the same way Alan Rickman did in "Die Hard" smart, witty and self obsessed. He steals the show from Stallone.

This blu ray of Cliffhanger is awesome. The picture quality is amazing with plenty of shots of the mountains covered in snow. Sound is also great with plenty of explosions and a cool soundtrack that sound amzaing with the home theater system. The best part is that this action movie still holds up after 20 years! Its a buy

This edition of cliffhanger was flawless, it was a excellent transfer with plent of extras, if you are a fan of this movie than this is for you

First I like most of Sly's movies. I already own Cliffhanger on DVD. But thought the scenic backgrounds would be sharper and more lifelike on Blu-Ray. I was right. The scenery is just gorgeous. Well worth the trade up. Also the sound is an upgrade also. You get to hear little things you didn't hear before( I have a 7.1 home stereo with 2 subwoofers to listen with). So hearing a difference impressed me.
