I've just always liked this movie... Of course, I was 13/14 at the time it came out... Simultaneously sexy, (some gorgeous and exotic women), quirky, kitschy, but also, tense and suspenseful... It proves to be quite an interesting 'time capsule' of the '70's, too... Enjoy!

Somehow it makes spies and assassins incredibly boring.

The film works best when it needs to most, during the thirty minute Eiger climbing sequence, but the rest of the movie is a mess of terrible cliche, sloppy cinematography, and cringe-worthy racial and sexual politics.

The movie is dated and parts of it feel like a James Bond ripoff but overall it is an enjoyable experience. Clint Eastwood has fun in the lead role and George Kennedy gives a good supporting performance. The mountain scenery is exquisite in the film.

If all our secret missions are executed this stupidly it's no wonder our foreign relations are so bad. The script's pretty terrible and overly long. There's some weird bits sprinkled throughout in what I guess is a sad attempt at being hip but just comes off as forced. There's also zero suspense because everyone knows nothing bad happens to Clint Eastwood. Easily his worst film.

Clint motherfucking Eastwood, the Eiger Nordwand, spys, assassins, ice climbing, titties and a dog named Faggot. What more do you want?

The Eiger Sanction is fine for a couple of mindless hours of entertainment, but really should have been much better given the talent involved. [Full Review]

The climax makes the movie somewhat watchable, but that doesn't change the fact that it's really sexist.

A mediocre script elevated by typically excellent performances from both Clint Eastwood and George Kennedy. The action and events are mostly bland and predictable, but the two present it very well when they're on screen. A passable, watchable action thriller, no more, no less.

A movie from my youth and not seen for years. I still remember his "guide" racing ahead and then the look on his face when he realized she wasn't waiting around.
