Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

ellenirishellen-62962 Started watching today,expecting nothing as it was given one star rating.What I saw was something that impressed me almost as much as Attack Of The Lederhosen Zombies,and that is a favorite at our house.It has Rupert Graves AND Rufus Sewell,so that attracted me at once because I love them both.Devon Sawa,Joe Absalom,Al Large from Doc Martin,who was great here,IMHO,among others.So,it's a bit farfetched with a terrorist group,but the stunts weren't distracting,found myself easily rooting for our heroes,especially ROOF (Sewell),and Joe Absalom,LOL Rupert Graves trying to check the gang into the hotel down the mountain.Give it a look,if open minded,you may also be surprised.

wolfmanjack224 if i could rate this movie twice it would be 1 and 10 so i chose the middle number of 5. you have to watch this movie knowing its going to be bad. when I bought the DVD so many years ago, when the movie was over i said to myself its a waist of money but i will watch more. it is over the top they mixed die hard with cliffhanger and got something terribly awesome. i would recommend it if you don't have to pay for it like on net flicks or something. this is like movies like poultrygiest and drive thru they are so bad they are good. it is very entertaining and has quite a bit of action.this movie is like the mindless action movies of the 80's just made 20 years to late

axopnk What didn't work and things i learned: 1. If you are a director or group leader, don't worry about your group's health or the safety of your job because constant drinking, unprofessional ism, snowboarding on the back of trains are what make a director Extreme.2. If you are a gold medalist,that is not "respectable" or Extreme. Thus you should hang out with a bunch of amateurs to become Extreme. Also, drinking and falling under peer pressure is OK if you want to be Extreme. 3. I don't know about you, but if your going to set up a love story, at least let it come to it's conclusion. No date or kiss scene? Weak.4. Silo's entrance and character was just ridiculous and laughable. The whole skateboarding scene on the train is the first example of how Extreme ops tries to be too "Extreme". Good job dude, that's one Extreme dumb ass right there. 5. Every Extreme person has rock entrance music to show he is more Extreme than others.6. A good camera man SHOULD ALWAYS hang upside down beneath a moving train for the best camera shot. 7. A snowboarder SHOULD ALWAYS grind their board on their train tracks while chanting like an Indian if they want to be Extreme. 8. Snowboarding off the top of a roof and doing back flips onto the bar was just complete BS. Why would you fill up alcohol in glasses when you know there just going to knock them down? It's either: A. There's a dumb ass bartender B. There dumb ass customers who spent money to fill the glasses up to look "Extreme". Take your pick.9. Snowball fight inside the resort was really misplaced, especially after meeting a creepy guy10. The dog escape scene was really misplaced. It felt like a fight scene but then it didn't. Especially with the garbage can lid slide scene down the mountain. Also, that's the best time to videotape. Dumb ass.11. The night time snowboard/ski scene was misplaced. What did it accomplish? Nothing at the end since it's accomplished in the hot tube scene.12. Director trademark: Why not throw some sexy panty action at the cliff "over the edge" scene where Kittie is about to fall to her death?13. Always say bastard and smile when your being shot at.14. You SHOULD NOT fill a helicopter up before taking off. 15. Shotguns are the best long range weapons for killing. 16. Uzi and AK-47 ammunition is rare. So use a shotgun as directed.17. Generals do not have good shooting skills. 18. Throwing rope down onto helicopter blades is not Extreme. Instead you must jump across the blades and throw the rope down. 19. Always throw hot coal into a hot tube with people in it. 20. Terrorist generals only have 4 men under the control at best. 21. Being shot in the arm by a shotgun will have no effect, if you are Extreme.22. Being dropped on by a girl who weighs 105 pounds when you yourself are 6 ft about 250 will instantly knock you out. (Note: If you are the girl dropping on the guy, you will not be hurt if you say words like "totally" "radical" "narly" after wards) 23. What information did the helicopter pilot trade? What else was there to learn? 24. If 2 people need to ride on 1 snowboard, you will still move at the same speed, and your maneuverability and control will be crisp clean accurate.25. When your a inexperienced amateur, listen to your buddy who tells you to cut the rope if your about to fall. 26. Cameras are now made with bullet proof covers. 27. Being shot at in the chest will also have no effect if you are Extreme. 28. Trying to plow your snowboard into a helicopter to hit someone is your best weapon.29. As an adult it's a good idea to let one of the kids sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the team. 30. As an adult, leave a kid to watch someone wounded while you get help with 2 other adults. 31. When you return to the states, DON'T notify the press of the ordeal you went through. Instead go get your money 32. Cell phones will have good reception in mountains when enemies are nearby but will have poor reception when there is no threat. 33. Make sure to videotape when you just got out of a life or death situation and are followed by a avalanche.Overall not a great movie but at least the casting (exception of a few) was alright.

ozthegreatat42330 This film will win no awards for tasteful dialog, and forget a decent story line, and if it had been up to me I would have dropped Rupert Graves off of that balcony if I were Rufus Sewell. But hay, you can't have everything. Can the naive little glory hogging Gold Medalist. But the scenery was right on and the sports shots were great. he bad guys were bad (thats what they get paid for) and Devon Sawa was well he was there. Not one of his better film roles. I would watch it again though just for the Kayak scene at the beginning, and the scene where James is having his tizzy fit with the hotel desk clerk and the translator tells them something else completely. Don't listen to these other bozos. If you want the scoop, scope it for yourself. 'Nuff said.
