Highpoint, May 20, 2008
This review is from: Highpoint [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This film brings together the talents of Christopher Plummer and Richard Harris, two of the best. As ever, the Canadian film industry makes a pretty good fist of making a good film. They very wisely call upon Canada's own in Christopher Plummer to star, always a good move. He can lift even the mundane to a new level, not that this film is in any way "mundane"

The Stuntman Rules- In Memory of Dar Robinson, April 29, 2009
This review is from: Highpoint [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I finally saw this movie as a hard to find rental on VHS in Houston.I'm a big fan of canadian music like Rush, Guess Who,Alanis,& Triumph,so I was always wanting to go to Toronto. When I finally did, I saw the Tower.
The CN Tower.
Now it has been awhile since I watched the movie but the plot was a mystery chase around the world,but what I really wanted to see is the scene wherer the bad guy falls off the CN Tower.I did not skip to the end.
Give the movie a B. But as a Multimedia student & so to be film maker,I was intriged that they would let a human being jump off the CN Tower.It's
1800 feet {133 stories}off the ground. Great work for Dar Robinson,the stuntman.
I saw him in the Astrodome 6 years {1974} earlier jump from the top/middle of the dome,which is about 25 stories tall. Cool for a 13 year old then. But 22 years later,be near the spot where Dar jumped off the tower. Whew !!!
Thats like the distance if ya jumped off the Empire State Building.102 stories. Been to Toronto 7 times,twice to the tower. Still looking for a DVD of Highpoint
