Leave your thoughts about Extreme Ops.
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThese are grossly uncompelling characters, written without regard for believability or intelligence. |
| Reel.comTor ThorsenThe only thing extreme about this operation is its abilty to irritate. |
| Nitrate OnlineCynthia FuchsA high concept movie that mostly leaves out the concept part. |
| Katrillion.comJohn Oliver"Extreme Ops" completely goes off the deep end when it decides to turn its light-hearted stunt exhibition story into some sort of terrorist thriller. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusA few energetic stunt sequences briefly enliven the film, but the wheezing terrorist subplot hasn't the stamina for the 100-minute running time, and the protagonists' bohemian boorishness mars the spirit of good clean fun. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowGood extreme snowboarding, poor everything else. |
| New York TimesElvis MitchellAnother wholly unnecessary addition to the growing, moldering pile of, well, extreme stunt pictures. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthPoor editing, bad bluescreen, and ultra-cheesy dialogue highlight the radical action. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaA tad more character development would have been nice. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSallePart of the appeal is that it's so bad it's good: The story is ridiculous. At other times, it's just plain good: There are ski and snowboarding scenes, plenty of them, that are beautifully filmed and exhilarating to behold. |
