I could not stop laughing at the opening guy hanging onto the mountain by his little finger

Rating: 4/10 (14 November 2008)

Be HONEST. Was I the only one laughing??? After I started laughing and others could tell that I sincerely found it hilarious, the entire theater was filled with laughter. I think however if I had not started the ball rolling with the laughs and chuckles in that theater, (finding this beginning so preposterous that I honestly did not even try to conceal my inability to believe it), the folks might have just dumb-foundedly sat through the rest of the picture as usual. Had a real good time but I do believe that the director was just a little over the top with what he was trying to convey in that opening scene (probably that and this is what the guy does just for fun). The saving grace here is the title. On the whole, the movie was of course very good however and does deserve all of those stars. I'm a big Jon Voight fan since "The Champ" which has to be one of the best movies and performances of all time.
