A traumatised climber is coerced to assist a group of bad guys in their search for cash-filled armoured suitcases which fell out of a plane over the Rocky Mountains. Sylvester Stallone revived his career for a few years with this action movie, which is original and entertaining but needlessly violent. The villains are at times laughably villainous. The opening scene is terrific. Scripted by Stallone.
