When an extreme-sports filmmaking team sets out to make a commercial featuring a gold-medal skier outrunning an avalanche, they run afoul of a Serbian war criminal hiding out in a mountain resort. So it's snowboards vs. bullets on steep slopes of snow--and if that's your thing, Extreme Ops is for you. There are also subplots about the high-class skier (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, House on Haunted Hill) trying to prove herself with the rough-and-tumble snowboard scamps, and various romantic sparks flying, but the only real point to this movie is lengthy shots of stuntpeople zipping down the mountainsides. Though it could stand to have less plot and more action, there's a good dose of spectacle nonetheless. Rufus Sewell (Dark City), Devon Sawa (Final Destination), and the cast do a serviceable job, but poor Brit Rupert Graves (excellent in Mrs. Dalloway) was forced to act through a terrible American accent. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews

a terrible waste of time and money
I saw this movie yesterday. My, was I disappointed! It was nothing more than the story of 5 friends who decided to go ski in a mountain range for a commercial. While there they accidentally filmed a wartime criminal who had previously feigned his death in a plane crash. It is often hard to follow the story, and the whole thing drags on ad infinitum. I hardly sleep at a movie; I did while watching this tripe.
75% of the movie consisted of overjoyed men and women skiing all over the place. This is the only part that might appeal to teens who are into such things. If you saw the trailer,you would remember there was something about some terrorists who were trying to blow up the world? That was addedd at the end (about 3% of the movie). It made very little sense.
Overall, this movie was grossly misrepresented in the trailer. I gave it 1 star because I couldn't do less. It is a complete waste of time and money. Should you decide to go see it, make sure you sip a cup of coffee before you go, as you might need it to stay awake.
What a tripe!

Pretty Lame
I rented this movie on VHS because that was teh only formate they had. I think its pretty FReaking Lame. The Sport Sequeces are cool, but aside from that it was very boring. Basicly i Think this movie was yet another example of Hollywood Movie Trash.

Predictable
This movie had the worst most predictable plot in the world. It's your typical " Run from the insane russian terrorists " plot you've seen over and over again. The dialogue is also pretty stupid with one-liners like " Sup B****es " and " Wicked Cool, man ". However, the stunt sequences were pretty awesome. And whats the deal with the dvd features? There's hardly any features on it!
