Review of Steep (2007) by William M — 21 Mar 2008
A documentary that lives up to its title, but not much else.
They try to make it interesting by coving the history of extreme skiing, but instead it just slows the film down. All the characters pretty much fall into the stereotyped extreme athlete enthusiast... basically Hansel from Zoolander. There was also a lack of crashes, which was disappointing, since they covered every other aspect of skiing. Probably could have been more successful had it been filmed in IMAX... the beautiful locations and extreme conditions were just begging for it.
Fun to watch in you're a ski fanatic, but easily avoidable if you could care less about snow.
