This is the most pointless movie I've seen in years. The characters spend like 3 and a half quarters of the film snowboarding around and doing tricks...then like the last...!!15 MINUTES!!? are spent fighting off terrorists. Trust me, I could not believe how long it took for those guys to show up and threaten the group and it was resolved in like 15 minutes. What a waste of time! What were we sitting there watching the movie for? The trailer promised a thriller with action. We got action...where's the rest? And the action is all intermediate stuff. The tricks aren't anything any student filmmaker can't do with a couple of snowboarders. I think the most complex action sequence in here was the use of some rocket launcher. Whoopie. If you don't count Devon Sawa, the cast sucks. You're practically begging for them to get captured by terrorists. And then there's the unforgivable cheesiness. This film is double the cheese. Amateur filmmakers trying to make an action movie. A junior high kid could do the same job with a big budget and a camera. Seriously. They all chalk up the sport with cheesy lines and make bad jokes. Then there's the whole sub-plot about a girl who's won a gold medal and must prove herself to the gang that she can ski like they can. In fact (SPOILER) the movie ends with a shot of her smiling like the whole thing was about her and her problems with becoming "one of the group". Hahaha! AVOID AT ALL COSTS. PLEASE, TRUST ME, YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!
