Review of North Face (2008) by Diego F — 27 Apr 2011
I was thinking this was going to be a movie of triumph over adversity and it really end up being more gut wrenching than I ever expected. Its sooo German. The movie focuses on who will be the first to climb the shear north face of the Eiger in pre-WWII Switzerland.
The pivotal point of the movie is where the two team are working together and still competing and one of the opposing team is struck in the head with large rock and seriously injured. Leaving the other team to fend for themselves would be sure death for the injured climber.
The intensity of the climbing is well conveyed, but the rest of the story drags down the pace with little reward.
