Predictable, flawed script but VERY tense
The kind of vibe I get from this director (I could be completely wrong) is that he is one of the well connected Hollywood types who uses his connections to get aging stars in stylistically flashy, but bad movies. This movie is a step in the right direction for him. There is a lot of cheesy dialogue and the plot devices are extremely obvious. Everything that is going to come up again later on in the movie you can see coming a mile away ***BUT*** the movie is visually very solid and it certainly creates a ton of anxiety. I think a lot of it is the very real fear many of us have of extreme heights like that, but regardless this movie graduates beyond being a Michael Bay knock off to a movie that has a relatively unique premise and actually makes you feel strong anxiety and fear. Solid work.
