Movie Reviews of K2
Movie Review: Mountain climbing is not easy
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is excellent for its climbing sequences and for its realism-a true life story of heroism. I feel sure that I will view this purchase many times and share it with family and friends like a friend showed it to me years ago.
Summary of K2
Michael Biehn plays a Seattle attorney who talks his friend, a physics instructor (Matt Craven), into joining a party with plans to climb the tallest and least accessible mountain in the world, K-2. Biehn's arrogant character immediately bumps noggins with the tour's leader (Raymond J. Barry) and the latter's strong-willed girlfriend (Patricia Charbonneau). But when various disasters begin to strike at the group, cooperation ensues, followed by assorted acts of heroism, friendship, and self-sacrifice under almost unimaginable conditions of lethal distress. Based on a play that examined the view on human values from a perch far above the world most of us know, K-2 surrounds that essential drama with extraordinary location footage. Director Franc Roddam (Quadrophenia) succeeds very well at turning a thoughtful piece into a fine action movie--and vice versa. --Tom KeoghAction & Adventure DVD Video
