For me, this had all the elements that made it an enjoyable watch.

Likable characters, good cinematography, and effective editing.

If you are looking for the world's best technical skills, this is not that movie. But for a casual rock climbing enthusiast like me, I enjoyed it because it allowed me to relate to the sport more deeply.

I didn't mind all the personal drama and stories about the inner life of Sasha.

I wish there had been some more details about things like, what was the cause of her requiring extensive hip surgeries. I would have also like to have known more about the place in Mexico where the final dramatic climb took place.

The first in the new trend of heroic female action movies.

When first introduced to the leading lady, I felt excitement that here was a unique female role played by the perfect actress.

I was feeling like this may be the best movie I had ever seen.

However the ending was a downer.

If she had been redeemed in the end by the love of a good man, this movie would have gone on to recognized for the brilliant creation it is.

I am reminded of the letdown I experienced when Kalisi went bad in Game of Thrones.
