This flick aims to be the ultimate action movie — celebrating extreme snowboarding and its enthusiasts — but our attention gets swept away by an avalanche of clichés. A film-making crew led by director Ian (Rufus Sewell) is in the Austrian Alps to record the ski stylings of gold-medallist Chloe (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras). Ian is distracted and keeps ringing his girlfriend because they had a bust-up, though he does manage to hang up when the crew spot wanted Serbian war criminal Pavle (Klaus Lowitsch), and then have to avoid being killed by him. There is a lot of drunken camaraderie among the young boarders and film-makers, but director Christian Duguay's narrative loses out to the obvious — including some rather fake-looking CGI effects. The result is not so much macho as mechanical.
