San Francisco Chronicle
Part of the appeal is that it's so bad it's good: The story is ridiculous. At other times, it's just plain good: There are ski and snowboarding scenes, plenty of them, that are beautifully filmed and exhilarating to behold. - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The stunt work is top-notch; the dialogue and drama often food-spittingly funny. I can hardly wait for Extreme Ops II, perhaps set atop a South Sea island volcano, with North Korean agents and parasailing. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
A tad more character development would have been nice. - 30
TV Guide Magazine
The dramatic scenes are frequently unintentionally funny, and the action sequences -- clearly the main event -- are surprisingly uninvolving, especially given that director Christian Duguay is an extreme skiing buff who habitually shoots dangerous stunts himself. - 25
New York Post
A pathetically inane and unimaginative cross between "XXX" and "Vertical Limit," it could only harm the careers of everyone involved in its making - including top British stage actors Rufus Sewell and Rupert Graves. - 20
Variety
Action pics rarely come much more blandly generic than Extreme Ops, an instantly forgettable snow-and-stuntwork extravaganza. - 20
The A.V. Club
Extreme Ops seems to have only the slightest grasp of its own absurdity (or its own horribleness), which makes it almost charming. - 16
Entertainment Weekly
Less a movie than a 93-minute Mountain Dew commercial.
