What weighs the characters down is not their parachutes or rock-climbing gear, but their sententious First World guilt and bland casting; gone is the free-spirited fun of Kathryn Bigelow's cult-hit original.
Full reviewRemake of the 1991 Swayze-Reeves-Bigelow crime drama (the original helmed by Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow). An FBI agent infiltrates a gang of extreme sports enthusiasts - surfers aren't extreme enough in the 21st Century - suspected of masterminding a string of unprecedented, sophisticated corporate heists.

Full reviewBasically a cavalcade of extreme sports, but with less drama than a highlight reel.
Full reviewNowhere does Mr. Core's film approach the action-movie chops or psychological smarts of Ms. Bigelow's original.

Full reviewStrips the silly fun and relatively straight-ahead narrative from the original for a humorless, if photogenic spin on extreme crime.
