SnoopyStyle Ian (Rufus Sewell) runs a company of extreme sports athletes who do stunts for film and TV. They're hired to film an avalanche for a commercial in the Alps. Joining them is downhill skier turned actress Chloe (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras). They trash the hotel and are kicked out. They bribe their way onto a mountain top hotel under construction. The problem is that a Serbian war criminal and his crew are hiding out nearby.There are some OK stunt work. The story is simplistic which is OK for a B-movie. There is too much annoying Eurotrash elements in this movie. The acting is OK. The most annoying thing is the constant Euro dance music which takes away any tension. This would work a lot better with a different soundtrack but even that wouldn't elevate it any higher than a B-movie.

bob the moo An extreme sports advertising firm travels to snowy Eastern Europe to shoot an advert featuring snow-boarding in the middle of an avalanche. Despite the danger, all the thrill-seekers see it as a bit of fun but, when they accidentally get film of a "dead" war criminal very much alive, they find themselves in very real danger.Perhaps unfortunately also known as The Extremists, this film is an European attempt to do what xXx did in regards making an action film out of extreme sports. Now, to many viewers this may feel like a particularly bad overall aim but bear in mind that, instead of American muscle-man Vin Diesel, we've got Rufus Sewell in the lead – "oh sh1111111t boy....it's on now kid, we bringing the C-WELL" etc. You get my point – from the start you cannot shake the feeling that this is a product made without a lot of money sloshing around. With that in mind I did expect it to be awful and it was a weirdly nice surprise to find that it is only "not that good". The plot about terrorists in a remote location is not reached for two-thirds and up till then we just have lots of noisy "extreme sports" action. This snow-boarding stuff is all very well but, without any plotting or characters to speak of, you'd be better off just watching it on one of those channel 4 sports programmes instead.In the final thirty minutes we suddenly have an action movie as one would expect but this is too quick and lacking in tension or the sort of internal realism required to engage the viewer. It pootles along OK I suppose but it never shakes the feeling of being basic mainly because Duguay can't inject action and thrills into it, he does his best but the material is the root of the problem and the film never did anything for me other than distract. The cast don't help the feeling of this being done on the cheap but the bigger problem is that nobody really has a lot of presence or charisma. The only exception to this is Pallaske, who is cute and energetic enough to stick in the mind. Otherwise though we are left with Sewell being too bland for this film, Graves doing a "comedy" character, Wilson being blonde and tall, Sawa (better known as Eminem's Stan) doing not that much and then lots of Eastern European boiler-plates.Extreme Ops offers a mix of so-so extreme sports action, so-so narrative, so-so performances and so-so action. It is no surprise then that the overall film at its best is "so-so" and other than a very lazy Friday night watching cable, I don't think many viewers will find that this meets their needs. "Here we go again" is the final line of the film – extremely unlikely I'd say.

mmmn_mdhansen When I saw this movie a couple years ago, Id never wanted to walk out of a movie so bad in all my life. But the person who drove didn't wanna leave so the rest of us had to sit through it.By far the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life.The story sucked and the acting was even worse. I honestly didn't think that acting could be this bad. The best acting was from Bridget Wilson, and no offense to her because i think she's beautiful, but that is really saying something.If you have the option of watching this movie or cutting your wrists with a rusty knife and then having someone urinate on your wounds, opt for the latter.Don't WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!

leadie53 Too many people get too technical when giving reviews on this site. I watch movies for the entertainment value, nothing more nothing less. This action packed gem, with amazing stunts was great fun from the first frame to the last. Sure it's corny, and very far-fetched, but what action packed film isn't. If you want a film with OK looking stars, a baddie on the loose in the Austraian Alps, and adrenalin pumping action, then this movie is for you, you also don't have to be a rocket scientist to follow the plot. I thought it was a lot of FUN....well worth the tub of popcorn. It put me in mind of other non stop action films with similar structure, Indiana Jones movies, all have mains tars, a baddie or two, great scenery and fabulous locations, same here. Should be enjoyed by the whole family......
