50A tad more character development would have been nice.
-
50Part 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.
-
50The stunt work is top-notch; the dialogue and drama often food-spittingly funny. I can hardly wait for Extreme Ops II, perhaps set atop a South Sea island volcano, with North Korean agents and parasailing.
-
38There is a fair share of turkeys at the multiplex this week, but none are quite as overcooked as Extreme Ops.
-
30The dramatic scenes are frequently unintentionally funny, and the action sequences -- clearly the main event -- are surprisingly uninvolving, especially given that director Christian Duguay is an extreme skiing buff who habitually shoots dangerous stunts himself.
-
25A pathetically inane and unimaginative cross between "XXX" and "Vertical Limit," it could only harm the careers of everyone involved in its making - including top British stage actors Rufus Sewell and Rupert Graves.
-
20It's like "Jackass," but with a budget and no midgets.
-
20Extreme Ops seems to have only the slightest grasp of its own absurdity (or its own horribleness), which makes it almost charming.
-
20Action pics rarely come much more blandly generic than Extreme Ops, an instantly forgettable snow-and-stuntwork extravaganza.
-
16Less a movie than a 93-minute Mountain Dew commercial.
-
The mountain would probably recommend that you save your money.
-
10Dude, one last thing: If you see my moms and pops, definitely don't tell them about this.
-
10Ops is too brain-dead to play the incognito war criminal segment for comedy, although when Will is seen thumbing through the pages of a newspaper called USA Daily, the picture has inadvertently tumbled down a Mad magazine wormhole.
-
10Even the action sequences are poorly executed, with lots of choppy editing meant to conceal the fakery.
