No amount of skate tricks or avalanche-dodging ski stunts will win us over if the characters have had their charisma surgically removed.

Reviews for Extreme Ops
Top CriticThis is a duff plot, but as an excuse to show lots of people with guns, a lot more people jumping around on snowboards and even more people repeatedly shouting 'Woooo!', it's unbeatable.

Top CriticIf you're walking past a cinema where it's showing, and it's raining, and you fancy a laugh... I would do something else, to be honest.

Top CriticOne of the dumbest action movies in recent memory (and that's saying a lot), this is so bad it's almost fun to watch.

So far past its sell-by-date it ought to come with a complimentary funeral wreath.

Top CriticA bad, dumb, mindless film.
04/29/09
An extremely stupid action movie.

In their quest for the youth market, Hollywood hacks often dress up their old script ideas in baggy pants and backward baseball caps, but I hope American kids aren't dumb enough to swallow this awful extreme-sports adventure.
03/06/07
The impossible plot and laugh-out-loud dialogue would have been tolerable if the tricks were impressive.
03/06/07
We get awful effects and endless shots of stuntmen filling in for B-grade actors (such as Bridgette Wilson-Sampras) traveling down mountains. How fascinating.
06/26/03
An acceptably mindless sanctuary from the annual December attack of important movies duking it out for Oscar glory.
05/28/03
The worst of the movie's offenses, however, happens in the editing room. With all the good guys, bad guys, skiing, helicopters and running through snow you're never quite sure who's who or what's what.
02/17/03
Extreme Ops has plenty of value as a movie on which you and your funniest friends can goof. There exists no logic to the plot and no point to the process. And I still don't know what an Op is.
01/25/03
Only for clean and easily pleased teens.

Where's Vin Diesel when you need him?

Top CriticThe really sweet part comes when this really wicked avalanche does happen while they're being chased and the director decides to film the uptight skier chick in front of it, so they can use it in the commercial. It was sooooooo rad, man!

ufus Sewell and Rupert Graves do add some thespian punch as the intrepid video director and the pampered producer, but it’s not nearly enough to keep this one from extremely bombing.
12/07/02
A high concept movie that mostly leaves out the concept part.
12/06/02
The film's most improbable feat? It didn't go straight to video.
