Extreme Ops

Ian (Rufus Sewell) is a director of extreme sports films who sets out with a stunt team to out-ski an avalanche for his latest digital video camera commercial. Slacker cameraman Will (Devon Sawa) has a crush on punk chick Kittie (Jana Pallaske) who likes to snowboard on and behind trains with skate maniac Silo (Joe Absolom). The newcomer who must prove her mettle is Chloe (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras), a sweet, blonde gold-medal ski champ trying to measure up to these charismatic lunatics. Their quest for the right peak takes them high up into a mountain range near Yugoslavia, where they soon run afoul of an evil Serb general and his minions. Their beer and hot-tub nights come to a halt as the gang find themselves fighting, snowboarding, and skiing for their lives all the way back down the mountain. Breathtaking outdoor scenery, stunts, rapid-fire editing and the thunderous electronica score all work overtime in this high-octane film. In addition, there are sturdy performances from the attractive cast, and a script mercifully free of corny dialogue and groan-inducing one-liners. Hamlet on ice this ain't, but potential viewers cruising for a no-frills adrenaline-rush will do well to take the plunge.

  Worse than expected
  
  Getting this movie I was not expecting a great deal as by far the majority of Hollywood attempts to integrate 'extreme' sports result in mediocrity. I ... read more »

  If you like skiing you'll like this
  
  The stunts were very good, the plot to the film was crap.
