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.

Top CriticThe impossible plot and laugh-out-loud dialogue would have been tolerable if the tricks were impressive.

Top CriticNo amount of skate tricks or avalanche-dodging ski stunts will win us over if the characters have had their charisma surgically removed.

This 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.

If 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.

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.

An acceptably mindless sanctuary from the annual December attack of important movies duking it out for Oscar glory.

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.

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.

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!

A high concept movie that mostly leaves out the concept part.

The film's most improbable feat? It didn't go straight to video.

Top CriticDespite bearing the Paramount imprint, it's a bargain-basement European pickup. What's hard to understand is why anybody picked it up. Wiser souls would have tactfully pretended not to see it and left it lying there
