Just watched this film the other day on BBC. The write-up in the paper said something like: "a group of extreme sports-people undertake a series of heists". I immediately though that this sounded like film-making by committee. Someone thought it would be a pretty good idea to stick a load of "totally wack" young "X-treme" sports-people into a film with explosions and stuff. Unfortunately someone then has to find a way of linking the inevitable bungee jumps and climbing shenanigans with a plot, script and characters.
Oops.
This film is completely and utterly stupid. The characters make absolutely no sense, are complete clichés, and are bound by a really funny script.... At times it feels like a spoof, though unfortunately I think we are actually supposed to take it seriously.
If you are a connoisseur of really bad, cheesy films, you won't be disappointed by this.
My highlight has to be Stephen Berkoff, whose accent is hilariously erratic.
