This movie is an experience. I was bound to my sofa for most of the time, me heart beating like crazy and I forgot about my surroundings completely.
The camera work is fantastic, no green screen used (most of the movie happens on a real 100ft tower built for this movie on a mountain so it looks like they are up 2000 feet). The climbing and stunts are really breathtaking, literally.
While one can argue that no one in her right mind would ever climb a 2000ft radio tower that is already falling apart, please be aware that sadly young people around the globe ARE doing stunts like this for fame on social media and/or adrenaline kicks. Hanging with one hand from a 300ft crane? Find it on YT, people ARE doing that.
So, the setting is not as absurd as one might think (especially when being older).
The acting is great, especially the blonde girl is playing the danger seeker fantastically.
I'm really afraid of heights, so that added of course to the thrill and suspense.
This movie is not a masterwork that tells a big story. But the story it tells, it tells it flawless and as a movie about height it's one if the best I have seen.
Highly recommend. Even after 20min and now writing this review on the edge.

My wife and me, we love historic movies and TV series. We really abhor this movie.
While you can say that this book adaption could not strive to far from its source, nevertheless it's just a bad story. All women in this movie act incredibly dumb. The only thing they care is to marry a wealthy man, someone else is marrying a wealthy man or their daughters are marrying a wealthy man. No women has any depth in this movie, any character, any wish other than marrying.
Not enough of this incredible cliché of women at these times, the acting is horrendous. At no point you feel the actors are real. They are like amateurs, trying costumes and playing "old times". They hardly can control modern day emotions (Keira Knightley's grinning is a shame), lacking every inch of how different people behaved in the past.
3 stars for good camera and sound.
