The story overall has great potential, but the dialog is full of cliches. I watched this movie on HDTV the other night and enjoyed it except for the painful dialog. The characters were right out of central casting and had no depth. This movie could have been done a lot better.

Don't know if you're familiar with many Clint Eastwood films but by and large they're action movies and a class above Charles Bronson's, Arnie Schwarzenegger's, Chuck Norris's and Jean-Claude Van Damme's... This isn't a defence in itself but I have to say the dialogue -- and especially the witty insults and comebacks Clint uses in The Eiger Sanction -- are far better than in any of his Dirty Harry flicks and most others.
shareThats because most of the dialogue was taken verbatim from the awesome book it was based on.
