Very Exciting

Keeps you totally involved. Top disaster-rescue. Musante plays his military role especially well. Top performances by Janssen, the lady doctor and the helicopter pilot as well. All kinds of different permutations arise in the rescue process so that's what keeps you very attentive and involved. The filming of this movie looked dangerous because of the intense mountain climbing and helicopter maneuvers being performed. There is some psychological/character study/sentimental angle covered which is necessary to humanize the whole thing, but it is the drama of the rescue itself that you are mainly involved with. Very impressive.
