"K2" is an action movie which has to do with two friends who join a group of people and they climb the K2 mountain. This movie it's dedicated to Seattle lawyer Jim Wickwire and biophysicist Lou Reichardt who became the first Americans to climb K2 on September 6 of 1978.
First of all I have to admit that I am big fan of climbing movies and secondly that I watched this movie on 2016. Of course when you watch a movie of 1991 you have to lower your standards and your expectations. "K2" is a good movie to watch, the plot was good and Franc Roddam did a good job in the direction of it. Although I have to say that he did not include many scenes with rock climbing or training of his two main characters something that it had to be done. He also focused in different in a different way, the melodramatic one with showing a family guy going to climb one of the most difficult mountains in the world, risking everything for an adventure. However I liked the interpretations of Matt Craven played as Harold and Michael Biehn played as Taylor.
Finally I have to say that "K2" is a good movie to watch but it cannot be compared with some other climbing movies such as "Vertical Limit" and "Everest". Of course this makes sense since the difference between the budgets between those movies is pretty huge and also many things have changed since 1991 and 2015.
