No doubt some good moments in the film and its a pretty slick production. It doesn't really stick to the "looking for the best lines in the world" theme with the ego trip bouldering competition stuff, though !

I digress slightly from the topic as I didn't get to see king lines however, did anyone else think that the trad part of psyche was a bit of a let down? the sport and alpine films were top quality though and i got some nice free stuff.

Bit of a weird film I thought, kind of a 'Miami Vice' style version of a climbing film with all the speedboats and girls in bikinis. Quite well shot but can't say I was that impressed to be honest.

Compared to what a Michael Mann film?!

I think King Lines is a deserved winner - amazingly shot and conveys Sharma's drive and passion.

Didn't think too much of it to be honest...compared to Psyche it seemed very ego and sponsor based.

Well it was certainly a bigger budget production and much more main stream public appeal.
