Leave your thoughts about The Eiger Sanction.
| The SpectatorKenneth RobinsonI enjoy this sort of film largely because it is too remote from life to make any emotional point of contact in the mind. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere comes a time in some movies when sheer spectacle overwhelms any consideration of plot, and Clint Eastwood's The Eiger Sanction is a movie like that. It has a plot so unlikely and confused that we can't believe it for much more than 15 seconds at a time, but its action sequences are so absorbing and its mountaintop photography so compelling that we don't care. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganFlaccid story redeemed by superb mountaineering footage |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThough one of Clint's weaker efforts as director, it's perhaps saved by the breathtaking visuals... . |
| Parallax ViewRichard T. JamesonThe Eiger Sanction lacks shape, rhythm, and any notable tone or point-of-view. |
| User ReviewLuke Hon my list of favorites. a bit dated but I love it every time I watch it. |
| User ReviewBrad SNot a perfect movie, but possibly one of Eastwood's most underrated. This is easily one of my favorite spy/hitman movies. |
| User ReviewRicardo CGood old Clint starred this film. Very good movie and he doesn't carry a gun. |
| User ReviewPhenyezia OAs a die-hard Clint Eastwood fan you've probably seen this spy/action/thriller already, but for those who only now discover the work of this great director/actor, check it out - it's well worth it. |
| User ReviewPamela DBased on the raunchy pulp novel by Rodney William Whitaker, written under the pseudonym Trevanian. Clint Eastwood's most interesting film. A top notch intelligence community action thriller. |
