      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    An incredible production with its visually stunning location filming on the spectacular Dolomite mountain range at an elevation of 13,000 feet above Cortina, Italy, Cliffhanger is a nerve-shuddering adventure peaked with terrorist suspense. Stallone plays a mountain rescue team member who is called upon to face off with a villainous crime lord, portrayed by Lithgow. This is one nonstop action thriller sure to leave you at the edge of your seat. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #106 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    No one covers the issues in more detail than Widescreen Review. No one else has the breadth and depth of different review systems on which to base transfer quality opinions. Gary Reber has given more editorial space to important Home Theatre trends and technologies than anyone in the industry, AND he has Joe Kane and Greg Rogers on his staff as advisors/columnists. 'Nuff said.
