Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this enjoyable, though at times cheesy, action-thriller, which a lot of the time feels like a James Bond film. The fact that Eastwood's character is a spy and he attracts many beautiful women are just a few of the points relating it to Bond.
The positive points of the film are it has some of the best mountain climbing action sequences ever filmed. Also, Eastwood is his usual tough guy self which is always fun to watch. George Kennedy is good as well.
The negative points are many of the characters are overblown, including Hemlock's(Eastwood) boss Red Dragon, who is a complete albino and gets his blood replaced every few month's. Also, one of Hemlock's(Eastwood) old enemy's who is a femanine guy with a dog named f*ggot. These characters make the film kinda cheesy.
Aside from these few negative points THE EIGER SANCTION is an enjoyable action-thriller and is good fun for Eastwood fans. 3.5/5
