Reviews & comments
Variety
pressWhat weighs the characters down is not their parachutes or rock-climbing gear, but their sententious First World guilt and bland casting; gone is the free-spirited fun of Kathryn Bigelow's cult-hit original.
The Washington Post
pressBasically a cavalcade of extreme sports, but with less drama than a highlight reel.
The New York Times
pressNowhere does Mr. Core's film approach the action-movie chops or psychological smarts of Ms. Bigelow's original.
Stuff
pressIt could just as easily have been a XXX relaunch or a Fast and Furious episode.
Los Angeles Times
pressTedious and overblown - as though the filmmakers were so preoccupied with "updating" the material that they forgot what made it so popular in the first place.
Hollywood Reporter
pressStrips the silly fun and relatively straight-ahead narrative from the original for a humorless, if photogenic spin on extreme crime.
