1. Quality

2. Summary

   Really Great 4.5

   An amazingly dramatic film about a competitive climb up the north face of the Eiger. Incredible action, an interesting back-story, and non-stop suspense make this film a must-see – even if you aren’t a fan of subtitles. It won’t matter, trust me.

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   The acting by Benno Furmann, Florian Lukas, and Johanna Wokalek was top notch. Johanna being my pick for the movie. Her chemistry with Benno was fantastic and she let the film through its back-story.
