Extreme Ops (2002)

Extreme Ops - this film kicks ass, the action and stunts are breathtaking....WOW ! My hat off to the stunt department for making a great extreme action fun film! If you like snow boarding towed behind a speeding train, ski jumping 300feet out of a cable car, base jumping at night, kayaking over a 150 feet waterfall , mountain biking off a cliff face, skate boarding on top of a speeding train or anything extreme then go see this and you will enjoy! Its just for fun so don't take it to serious dude !

Fmovies: That's what it was and it never promised to be anything better. It was an inoffensive movie with great stunts and lovable characters. Sure the plot was small, a big one would have gotten in the way of all that skiing & snowboarding. It had a few embarrasing moments, but how many Hollywood films don't. Besides, you're not supposed to take this movie seriously anyway. It's just plain old fun. I guess I liked it.

Unless you are really into skiing and watching people ski and snowboard for a good part of an hour and a half and watching people run around in white cold fluffy stuff, just go to bed.

It's not a very entertaining movie and the dialog is lame.

There's snow and lots of it...and a few nice shots - actually quite a few, but that's the highlight.

Take away the gangster scenes and basically what you have is a documentary about skiing and snowboarding.

The Olympics skier is told she can't ski...yet she's on a dangerous mountain melting the snow - even though she takes a flip...she's doing some pretty awesome moves.

Extreme Ops fmovies. Great original, imaginative, extreme action and fabulous stunts make this a great watch for all. I just loved the the scene with the boarders jumping off the roof of a train and then roped on to the train go for a joy ride until their boards catch fire whilst riding the train tracks in a tunnel. And that is the tip of the iceberg and most of the action is real, it is not CGI! So my verdict is great stuff and I will be going again and again.

This film is bad filmmaking 101. A commercial director (Rufus Sewell, who has certainly done better work elsewhere) assembles a group of extreme athletes (including Bridgette Wilson-Sampras as a Gold Medal Skier??) and lugs them off to a secluded area of the Swis Alps to film them outracing an avalance for a DV Camera commercial!!! Of course the same hillside out intrepid filmmakers choose is the hidding place of some terrorist leader, who thinks the bumbling and arguing film crew are actualy CIA Agents trying to nab him! Of course the first hour or so is taken up by inane banter among the athletes, including a raver chick (a dead ringer for early Angelina Jolie) who thinks Sampras gold Medal skier isnt hip enough to be in their crowd... Eventualy, after the obligatory Hot Tub bonding scene, we get to some action when the bad guys chase out heroes down the slopes in a helicopter! Of course the ending is so rediculous that you'll just laugh at the ineptitude of the screenwriters. This is a terrible movie from start to finish. GRADE: F

This movie looked great. I really wanted to see it. But it was a disappointment. Why? This movie has no plot at all.. There's a group of people making a commercial and a terrorist (or whatever). And that terrorist wants to kill that group. Well, at least 15 minutes before the end. The movie is based on stunts, stunts and again stunts. I was so sick of the snow and skiing. I wanted to see an ACTION movie, not a typical show about extreme sport.
