Review: Extreme Ops follows the lead of this summer's XXX, featuring a team of extreme sports enthusiasts who find themselves caught up in international intrigue.

A film crew travels to the Austrian Alps to shoot a commercial in which three daredevil skiers and snowboarders outrun an avalanche. Unfortunately, their location is near the secret hideout of a Serbian war criminal and his gang of terrorists. Accidentally catching him on film, the team becomes locked in a life-and-death chase through the mountains that of course includes lots of spectacular stunts.

Directed by Christian Duguay, whose credits include The Art of War, the action thriller stars Devon Sawa, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, Rupert Graves and Rufus Sewell.

Tragically, producer and professional skier Werner Koenig was killed in an avalanche in November 2000 while scouting locations for the film in Verbier, Switzerland.
