 "Just how extreme are these ops? I regret to report that these ops are just not extreme enough."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY
 ""Extreme Ops" exceeds expectations. Good fun, good action, good acting, good dialogue, good pace, good cinematography."
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
"Poor editing, bad bluescreen, and ultra-cheesy dialogue highlight the radical action."
-- Jeanne Aufmuth, PALO ALTO WEEKLY
"A B-movie you can sit through, enjoy on a certain level and then forget."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"The characters are paper thin and the plot is so cliched and contrived that it makes your least favorite James Bond movie seem as cleverly plotted as The Usual Suspects."
-- Jay Boyar, ORLANDO SENTINEL
"It's exactly what you'd expect: No more and no less."
-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"Extreme Oops - oops, ops, no matter how you spell it, it's still a mistake to go see it."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"Despite bearing the Paramount imprint, it's a bargain-basement European pickup. What's hard to understand is why anybody picked it up. Wiser souls would have tactfully pretended not to see it and left it lying there"
-- Ken Hanke, MOUNTAIN XPRESS (ASHEVILLE, NC)
"A reworking of Die Hard and Cliffhanger but it's nowhere near as exciting as either."
-- Louis B. Hobson, JAM! MOVIES
"Oh, it’s extreme, all right. Extremely dumb. Extremely confusing. Extremely boring."
-- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER
"Good for a few unintentional laughs, "Extreme Ops" was obviously made for the "XXX" crowd, people who enjoy mindless action without the benefit of decent acting, writing, and direction."
-- John Larsen, LIGHT VIEWS
"An instantly forgettable snow-and-stuntwork extravaganza that likely will be upstaged by an avalanche of more appealing holiday-season product."
-- Joe Leydon, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
"Slow, silly and unintentionally hilarious."
-- Sean Means, SALT LAKE TRIBUNE

"I can't remember the last time I saw worse stunt editing or cheaper action movie production values than in Extreme Ops."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"It has all the excitement of eating oatmeal."
-- James Brundage, FILMCRITIC.COM
"I can’t recommend it. But it’s surprisingly harmless."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"A few energetic stunt sequences briefly enliven the film, but the wheezing terrorist subplot hasn't the stamina for the 100-minute running time, and the protagonists' bohemian boorishness mars the spirit of good clean fun."
-- Steven D. Greydanus, DECENT FILMS GUIDE
"The good thing -- the only good thing -- about Extreme Ops is that it's so inane that it gave me plenty of time to ponder my Thanksgiving to-do list."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"No reason for anyone to invest their hard-earned bucks into a movie which obviously didn't invest much into itself either."
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM
"Zaidan's script has barely enough plot to string the stunts together and not quite enough characterization to keep the faces straight."
-- Jim Lane, SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW
"Extremely bad."
-- Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel, 3BLACKCHICKS REVIEW
"The dramatic scenes are frequently unintentionally funny, and the action sequences -- clearly the main event -- are surprisingly uninvolving."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"Fairly successful at faking some pretty cool stunts but a complete failure at trying to create some pretty cool characters. And forget about any attempt at a plot!"
-- Nell Minow, MOVIE MOM

Avg. Rating: 3.5/10 |
"Not once does it come close to being exciting."
-- Randy Cordova, ARIZONA REPUBLIC
"Some writer dude, I think his name was, uh, Michael Zaidan, was supposed to have like written the screenplay or something, but, dude, the only thing that I ever saw that was written down were the zeroes on my paycheck."
-- Manohla Dargis, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"In between the icy stunts, the actors spout hilarious dialogue about following your dream and 'just letting the mountain tell you what to do.'"
-- Justine Elias, VILLAGE VOICE
"A pathetically inane and unimaginative cross between XXX and Vertical Limit."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST
"The film's most improbable feat? It didn't go straight to video."
-- Bruce Fretts, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"The stunt work is top-notch; the dialogue and drama often food-spittingly funny."
-- Liam Lacey, GLOBE AND MAIL
"Extreme Ops doesn't have two brain cells to rub together, but it's an extreme sports thrill ride with a certain appeal."
-- Mick LaSalle, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"This film is so slick, superficial and trend-hoppy, that it's easy to imagine that a new software program spit out the screenplay."
-- Tom Maurstad, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Another wholly unnecessary addition to the growing, moldering pile of, well, extreme stunt pictures."
-- Elvis Mitchell, NEW YORK TIMES
"A movie that feels like the pilot episode of a new teen-targeted action TV series."
-- Geoff Pevere, TORONTO STAR

"Worthless, from its pseudo-rock-video opening to the idiocy of its last frames."
-- Eugene Novikov, FILM BLATHER
