Critics Consensus

The various stunts in Extreme Ops don't compensate for the inane storyline and bad dialogue.

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. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press 03/06/2007

There are plenty of unintentionally funny moments in "Extreme Ops." When a terrorist mistakenly assumes the women are CIA operatives, he intimidates them with threats of death. Oh, and yes, he'd like to see the two women kiss each other. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 04/29/2009

Allie 11/03/2023 I actually really liked this one, it was very 2000s, but that made it nostalgic for me. I think the action in it is really great and Devon Sawa is always a treat no matter what he's in! Yeah the dialogue isn't the best, but I think it's a really fun time passing movie. See more 12/10/2020 this is bad, very bad. it's a shit. See more 12/15/2017 A little too predictable and silly to earn a positive rating. See more Donald B 07/10/2017 It's 2002 and you just finished watching xXx. You loved it and need another EXTREME movie to satiate you lust for awful film making. Well, Extreme Ops is here to to play a second rate version of xXx with all the hokey stunts and lame dialogue, but none of the Vin Diesel. See more 01/10/2017 I love this film. I watch it every year before the ski season. It is an all action fun film. See more 09/17/2014 A really terrible and mediocre movie that should be avoided at all costs. I found no enjoyment at all in this poorly done excuse of a 1 hr and 33 min movie. The acting was so bad, there was virtually no story, plot, or any character development at all and you don't care about anybody when their lives are on the line and the whole cast ended up being bland and generic. The dialogue was so poorly written and terrible all the way through. It took 55 minutes for the dumb conflict to finally kick in and everything before that was bull crap. The action was tensionless and every stunt looked like they were performed by stunt doubles and some of the close up shots and green screen during the snowboarding scenes looked awful and looked like a scene from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. By the final 20 minutes, I just didn't care anymore and I felt like checking my Facebook and surfing the web. Overall, this movie had no chance at all at being good and it was only made to try to take people's money. See more Read all reviews
