Masterful Movie

disgusting, overrated, pointless

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Ian (Rufus Sewell) runs a company of extreme sports athletes who do stunts for film and TV. They're hired to film an avalanche for a commercial in the Alps. Joining them is downhill skier turned actress Chloe (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras). They trash the hotel and are kicked out. They bribe their way onto a mountain top hotel under construction. The problem is that a Serbian war criminal and his crew are hiding out nearby.There are some OK stunt work. The story is simplistic which is OK for a B-movie. There is too much annoying Eurotrash elements in this movie. The acting is OK. The most annoying thing is the constant Euro dance music which takes away any tension. This would work a lot better with a different soundtrack but even that wouldn't elevate it any higher than a B-movie.

When I saw this movie a couple years ago, Id never wanted to walk out of a movie so bad in all my life. But the person who drove didn't wanna leave so the rest of us had to sit through it.By far the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life.The story sucked and the acting was even worse. I honestly didn't think that acting could be this bad. The best acting was from Bridget Wilson, and no offense to her because i think she's beautiful, but that is really saying something.If you have the option of watching this movie or cutting your wrists with a rusty knife and then having someone urinate on your wounds, opt for the latter.Don't WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!

well, this movie is really some waste of time... maybe they put a lot of effort into it, but don't watch it if you have better things you can watch :)it's not all that bad, the stunts are sometimes good, but the whole thing is just not credible, the action is coming and going, the plot is not good, the facts are wrong... Yugoslavia has no border with Austria, the Austrian after-ski parties aren't like that at all, you would actually get you as* kicked if you do that kind of thing in Tirol... lots of things don't add up... then the characters are badly built up - no personality... no idea why Ian talks to his g/f all the time... well, you'll see for yourself...Oh, and if there's someone doing the stuff these guys do, and succeeding every time on the first try... well, I quit snowboarding :)

Too many people get too technical when giving reviews on this site. I watch movies for the entertainment value, nothing more nothing less. This action packed gem, with amazing stunts was great fun from the first frame to the last. Sure it's corny, and very far-fetched, but what action packed film isn't. If you want a film with OK looking stars, a baddie on the loose in the Austraian Alps, and adrenalin pumping action, then this movie is for you, you also don't have to be a rocket scientist to follow the plot. I thought it was a lot of FUN....well worth the tub of popcorn. It put me in mind of other non stop action films with similar structure, Indiana Jones movies, all have mains tars, a baddie or two, great scenery and fabulous locations, same here. Should be enjoyed by the whole family......
