Product Description
A film crew travels to the Austrian Alps near the (former) Yugoslav border to film three extreme sports enthusiasts being chased down by an avalanche for a commercial. What they don't know, however, is that they're filming near the secret hideout of Slobodan Pavle, a Serbian war criminal. Accidentally catching him on film, they become locked in a life-or-death chase through the mountains that includes skiing, snowboarding, sky diving, white water rafting, helicopters, motorcycles, and base jumping.
From the Back Cover
Bursting with adrenaline-pumping action, breathtaking suspense and the most amazing extreme sports sequences captured on film, Extreme Ops takes you for the ultimate thrill ride. On a remote Austrian mountain top, a film crew, three daredevil American snowboarders and a professional downhill skier have gathered to shoot a spectacular stunt for a TV commercial. The stunt is perilous, but an even greater danger soon appears – known terrorists are hiding near the crew’s camp. Now the extreme athletes must use their extraordinary skills for their greatest challenge: to stop a terrorist threat … and escape a treacherous mountain with their lives. Devon Sawa (Final Destination), Bridgette Wilson-Sampras (The Wedding Planner) and Rufus Sewell (A Knight’s Tale) star in this non-stop action adventure that delivers maximum movie excitement.

The stunts of Speed and the hedonistic, thrill-seeking, let's do it for the ride danger of Jackass combining to make a very watchable movie. OK, it's a little silly in places with totally implausible craziness but if you managed to sit through Speed (or any other action movie!) and accept it, you'll have no problem here. With the exception of literally 3 minutes in the middle of the film (the I'm a failure I only got a gold medal scene - it's a nice touch that she wears it!) the extreme sports are full on. Whether you're into adrenaline sports or not you'll not fail to enjoy them as presented here set against pumping music and fast camera action.
Extreme Ops doesn't stop where the sports end. It's not just skiing and snowboarding. There's white water canoeing, train rail-riding, abseiling, parachuting and a great scene where a couple of the boys get chased by dogs but impossibly manage to get away. Even the snowy-action isn't just your regular winter sports.

The movie is really great. It could have been a tad longer but with all the action it makes up for the shortness of the film. I would definetly recommend this to anyone looking to buy it.

I'd been looking forward to seeing this film for a while, so when it finally came to British cinemas I jumped at the chance to watch it. However the plot was a bit thin and although there were plenty of action scenes, there was no proper acting. The best thing about this film was Joe Absolom's (ex Eastenders) solid performance as a snowboarder. I would recomend this film to anyone who likes action film where the plot is simple and the action is in your face!
