Product: The Ascent (1994) [VHS]
Rating: 5.0
Probably one of Cross's best!
For those who watch Ben Cross, you have to get this for your collection...He plays his character well--and every emotion he portrays is believable. There is some good humor in the movie as well. There is more than a mountain to conquer in this film. The viewers find that the mountain is a minor obstacle compared to the growth each character displays by the end of the film. This is probably one of the best performances I have seen Cross do--and I have seen many since I first saw something he was in 2 years ago. I also recommend "The Potato Factory" and a vampire spoof he was in called "Nightlife". That guy is one of those rare actors that has considerable range, and is (and has been) largely under appreciated and under-utilized.
