Vertical Limit
chronicles a damaged yet loving brother-sister
relationship against the backdrop of an
intensely dangerous mountain rescue. The
dynamics of the human urge for survival are
played out on the chilling might of K2, the
world's second highest and most challenging
mountain. The Film truly depicts the beauty of
Himalayan Range in Pakistan and hospitality of
its people.
The director has done a good
job depicting the majesty of K2 surrounded by
one of the highest mountain range of the world.
The picture also adds a little flavor of
political tension between India and Pakistan
when one of the Pakistani Colonel joking mention
to the hero “it is 3:00 am time to wake-up the
Indian”
Although there are some gripping scenes
in the movie but it does not live up to the
standards of good story telling. There are many
silly mistakes for instance is it not stupid to
consider that a military colonel would not know
that nitroglycerin can explode if exposed to the
sun light. There are many scenes in the movie
that has no relevance to the story and it looks
like they were added to make it a full-length
movie. It is also quite unnatural to save one
person at the cost of 4 lives. Acting was also
not of the highest standards. Overall an average
movie but a must see for Pakistani
crowd.
