Summary - Really Great 4.5

An amazingly dramatic film about a competitive climb up the north face of the Eiger. Incredible action, an interesting back-story, and non-stop suspense make this film a must-see – even if you aren’t a fan of subtitles. It won’t matter, trust me.

Acting - Very Good 3.5

The acting by Benno Furmann, Florian Lukas, and Johanna Wokalek was top notch. Johanna being my pick for the movie. Her chemistry with Benno was fantastic and she let the film through its back-story.

Film - Really Great 4.5

Philipp Stölzl created a real winner with this film. Suspense and drama amidst non-stop action is always a formula for success. Add to that great character study and solid acting, and you have one great film.
