No Broken Limbs Here.......2003-09-21
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.
Good stuff, but it's been done before!.......2003-09-16
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!
