Movie Haiku:Simpson & Yates are real mountain climbers recounting a disastrous descent in the Andes with the help of stunt doubles. SPLIT DECISION: Rich found this a riveting tale of inch-by-inch macho determination, whereas Jan was bored by the endlessly repetitive details & longed for just a hint of self-reflection.
