I love this movie so much
Truly Dreadful Film
Nice effects though.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Rick (Ed Marinaro) is the owner of a ski resort near the bankruptcy. His alcoholic friend Scott (Nick Mancuso) manages the place, and Rick decides to put his young wife Lauren (Kirsten Robek) in charge of the management. Alex (Wolf Larson) is one of the responsible for the safety of the mountain. In order to improve the condition of the mountain against avalanches, Alex and Lauren install eight explosives on its top to provoke a controlled explosion. However, three reckless snowboarders jeopardize the operation, causing a serious accident. This movie is a good action movie, showing astonishing landscapes, specially through the aerial camera. It transmits lots of tension, specially when some persons are buried under the snow, waiting for rescue. The problem is the story with many flaws. For example, how could a man invest money in a place located in a area with risk of avalanche, and gives its management to a drunken friend? His friend shows that has no moral qualities, lying about Alex and Lauren, drinking on duty etc. In the conclusion of the plot, it seems that the budget finished and the story has a very disappointing end. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): `A Fúria da Avalanche' (`The Fury of the Avalanche')
What is that great saying? They did the best with what they had. Unfortunately, this felt the case with this movie as well, with not much character definition and too many sidelines which failed to be explored. We did get the obligatory tit/sex shot-for those that must need that kind of stuff in their movies.. ho hum!Fortunately the show improved midway through when what appeared to be a minor character, Simon (played well by young Canadian, Tobias Mehler), took on more work and brought a level of enjoyment (for this viewer) to the otherwise predictable script. Some good lines were not wasted when delivered properly and the show had potential, but seemed to 'get buried' a little too deep. The scenery certainly improved the script!Having said all that, I'm still glad I bought the movie for my collection. It's one of those 'switch off and just watch' movies.
if you like action movies with hot chicks, devastating mountain action and acaptivating story then this is for you. If you see yourself as an extreme boarder that likes to get drunk, hike a ridge all night with no snow shoes, peeps orclearly a clue then this is for you too. Plus if you can still be chucking spins and getting your grabs in whilst trying to outrun a grade 4/5 avalanche then you'll appreciate this too...I would actually like to see this again, I told so many people about it today on the hill that its become a joke on our mountain - fantastic absolute crap.
That was a pretty bad movie.I work with people in the industry, (I am a member of a ski patrol myself). This movie was so silly, if I wasn't full of scotch when it came on, I could not have watched it. The premise is dumb. The actors are wooden and stereotypes. This is one of the worst flicks I have seen in a while (and I have seen a few).However, if you are willing to watch bad movies (and you are full of scotch) then perhaps you can sit thru it.
