User Reviews

Surfing in Switzerland!

Let's face it: this has probably been made to fill nice winter sports.The snowboard sequences are admittedly exciting (for those who like that kind of pastime)but the rest is could-not-care-less acting,directing and editing.

The script looks like a poor man's "Point Break " (1991),snowboarding replacing surfing,which does not make a big difference.Even the bad deeds of the soon-to-be-has-been star are the same.An ominous music would like us to believe something threatening is in the air.It's also full of filler:nightclub scenes complete with topless dancers and horrible music ,girls school (?) ,tribal rites(?) with grimacing masks..

This flick was broadcast at 1AM:how to get rid of a dud unbeknownst to the audience.
