Wasn't intending to but was bored and caught the start

Film about a rich bloke wanting to climb mountain... he's on evil git and takes a team with him where he continues to be evil. One of the members called Ena or something is main character with brother who attempts to save them with team of his own. Explosions through Pakistan based chemical bomb things and avalanches and big jumps and stuff. Lot's of people sadly die including two aussie blokes who were a bit funny.

It was alright I suppose, just a bit too much on the edge of your seat... they would just jump at last second and save the day or too much stuff and falls etc

So sort of film to fill a Sunday night

I never fancied it after seeing that guy jump at the big rock with 2 pick axes and actually live.

It is a real gash film.

I think it contains all the possible cliches and stereotypes that action films have.

"Oooh, I haven't climbed for years, but I'll go out to save me sister, helping me to overcome my fear of being a t****r".

"And I'm and old bloke who finds out exactly what happened to my wife, I scarifice myself so some t!t can live"

"I'm a rich evil bloke and I die"

Load of poo.

I thought it was quite crap, the film got 3/10 in most reviews.

I think the film looks boring, though thats mainly due to the fact that I think I've seen all the action scenes and stunts the movies has to offer in the trailer.

The ending would have been better if his arms got ripped off and then they died

Make it real

The bit where Chris I Can't Act McSomething jumps at cliff with two pickaxes would rip him arms out of their sockets on impact. But does it? Oooooooooh no, because he's SuperClimber Man. It says he hasn't climbed for 10 million years or something and suddenly he's tackling K2 in bad weather? He should have died, not amusing Oz guys and the old hairy guy who was morbid and found his wife.

I've got it sitting above me as a DVD my sister bought for me at Christmas. Probably was in the cheap tray or something :-)

It was alright, bit too un realistic at times from what i can remember. In the end it's just like - Why won't you die?!?
