Bereamic Awesome Movie

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Python Hyena Extreme Ops (2002): Dir: Christian Duguay / Cast: Rufus Sewell, Bridgette Wilson, Devon Sawa, Rupert Graves, Heino Ferch: Had Britney Spears directed this film, it might have been called Extreme Oops...I Did It Again. All jokes aside the film is a complete snowstorm disaster that should be buried underneath an avalanche. Preposterous plot has a group of misfits shooting a commercial in the snowy mountains but terrorists wreck their plans. Remainder of film consists of them doing massive stunts on skies and snowboards to outwit the enemy. Results are predictable, dull and pathetic with stunts duplicating for plot. It is about as much fun as having a bowel movement in my pants. Christian Duguay previously made another stupid action film called The Art of War. He can handle action but the screenplay needs much to be desired. It consists of a bunch of airheads whom we do not care about who nearly meet death due too stupidity. Among the actors with the misfortune of appearing in this sh*t storm are Bridgette Wilson who had won a gold mettle and got rewarded with a script this idiotic. Others include Rufus Sewell, Devon Sawa and Rupert Graves, and this is likely not going to earn any bragging rights by any of them. Film exists for its action but for extra entertainment why not bury it in the deep cold Atlantic in hopes that it isn't discovered. Score: 2 / 10

momewraith I'm actually watching it as i type this, thats how bored i am. Not much happens at all. It's too drawn out with no buildup for the first half, so when it gets to the main encounter, you don't really care.There is some OK "extreme" skiing and snowboarding, which looks alright, but thats about it. The stunts are good when they are climbing on stuff, and has potential but there's not enough at to keep you engaged. I think it's confused about what it's trying to be.The characters and acting is alright, the camera work and getting some good visual shots is good.Overall, it just doesn't work for me. if it was bad to the point of tacky, then i'd be fine with that.If you want to watch snowboarders, then get a snowboarding DVD. if u want to watch an action movie set in snow environment, better of getting cliff hanger or such.the only thing i like about this movie is Jana Pallaske

axopnk What didn't work and things i learned: 1. If you are a director or group leader, don't worry about your group's health or the safety of your job because constant drinking, unprofessional ism, snowboarding on the back of trains are what make a director Extreme.2. If you are a gold medalist,that is not "respectable" or Extreme. Thus you should hang out with a bunch of amateurs to become Extreme. Also, drinking and falling under peer pressure is OK if you want to be Extreme. 3. I don't know about you, but if your going to set up a love story, at least let it come to it's conclusion. No date or kiss scene? Weak.4. Silo's entrance and character was just ridiculous and laughable. The whole skateboarding scene on the train is the first example of how Extreme ops tries to be too "Extreme". Good job dude, that's one Extreme dumb ass right there. 5. Every Extreme person has rock entrance music to show he is more Extreme than others.6. A good camera man SHOULD ALWAYS hang upside down beneath a moving train for the best camera shot. 7. A snowboarder SHOULD ALWAYS grind their board on their train tracks while chanting like an Indian if they want to be Extreme. 8. Snowboarding off the top of a roof and doing back flips onto the bar was just complete BS. Why would you fill up alcohol in glasses when you know there just going to knock them down? It's either: A. There's a dumb ass bartender B. There dumb ass customers who spent money to fill the glasses up to look "Extreme". Take your pick.9. Snowball fight inside the resort was really misplaced, especially after meeting a creepy guy10. The dog escape scene was really misplaced. It felt like a fight scene but then it didn't. Especially with the garbage can lid slide scene down the mountain. Also, that's the best time to videotape. Dumb ass.11. The night time snowboard/ski scene was misplaced. What did it accomplish? Nothing at the end since it's accomplished in the hot tube scene.12. Director trademark: Why not throw some sexy panty action at the cliff "over the edge" scene where Kittie is about to fall to her death?13. Always say bastard and smile when your being shot at.14. You SHOULD NOT fill a helicopter up before taking off. 15. Shotguns are the best long range weapons for killing. 16. Uzi and AK-47 ammunition is rare. So use a shotgun as directed.17. Generals do not have good shooting skills. 18. Throwing rope down onto helicopter blades is not Extreme. Instead you must jump across the blades and throw the rope down. 19. Always throw hot coal into a hot tube with people in it. 20. Terrorist generals only have 4 men under the control at best. 21. Being shot in the arm by a shotgun will have no effect, if you are Extreme.22. Being dropped on by a girl who weighs 105 pounds when you yourself are 6 ft about 250 will instantly knock you out. (Note: If you are the girl dropping on the guy, you will not be hurt if you say words like "totally" "radical" "narly" after wards) 23. What information did the helicopter pilot trade? What else was there to learn? 24. If 2 people need to ride on 1 snowboard, you will still move at the same speed, and your maneuverability and control will be crisp clean accurate.25. When your a inexperienced amateur, listen to your buddy who tells you to cut the rope if your about to fall. 26. Cameras are now made with bullet proof covers. 27. Being shot at in the chest will also have no effect if you are Extreme. 28. Trying to plow your snowboard into a helicopter to hit someone is your best weapon.29. As an adult it's a good idea to let one of the kids sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the team. 30. As an adult, leave a kid to watch someone wounded while you get help with 2 other adults. 31. When you return to the states, DON'T notify the press of the ordeal you went through. Instead go get your money 32. Cell phones will have good reception in mountains when enemies are nearby but will have poor reception when there is no threat. 33. Make sure to videotape when you just got out of a life or death situation and are followed by a avalanche.Overall not a great movie but at least the casting (exception of a few) was alright.

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......
