Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Extreme Ops
EXTREME OPS is a movie directed by Christian Duguay in 2002.

A team of stuntmen shoots an advertisement in the middle of the Austrian Alps. They intend to trigger off an avalanche in order to practice extreme ski and snowboard right ahead of it. They discover by chance the hideout of Pavlov, a Serbian war criminal who decides to kill the whole team. Pavlov has guns, assassins and an helicopter, our heroes only skis, snowboards and a lot of guts. A dangerous manhunt starts on the vertical rock faces of the mountain.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
