In this handsomely shot documentary about extreme skiing, thrill-seeking devotees boast of their exploits, but shed no light on what drives them to risk their lives.

It gets a little wearing, hanging out with these lions, but there's no denying the beauty of the landscape, with its fluttering avalanches, plumes of powder and vertiginous, zigzagging descents.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 26, 2008

Remarkably, given the extraordinary descents captured on film and despite the less than subtle stirring score, the film is ultimately lacking in any real excitement.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 26, 2008

If you're a fan of 'extreme skiing' (ie. hurling yourself down terrifyingly steep terrain with sticks on your feet), this film is your Holy Grail.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 26, 2008

A tedious movie about excitement.

Sometimes it takes escaping death to feel alive -- especially if we have survived a cancer scare, a road accident or some other potentially fatal encounter. But Steep is about those who actively seek that dance with danger.

Steep is a throwback to the early days of movies when the sight of things in motion was a thrill in itself. Seeing leaves rustling in the wind or waves on the sea was a marvel.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 25, 2008

Steep is one of those rare endeavors able to touch on the human condition without neglecting the film's true star: big-mountain skiing.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 24, 2008

Obenhaus's movie certainly contains a lot of spectacular photography.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 18, 2008

Even though the pull of the mountain remains a mystery, we do gain some understanding of the humanity that fuels the hair-raising risks captured so eloquently on film.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 18, 2008

In the end, you will believe the film's talking heads, but, more than likely, what they say may still make little logical sense to you.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 18, 2008

If you like your skiing extreme but your documentaries safe, then carve a sharp turn over to Steep.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 18, 2008

Steep is a visually exhilarating sports documentary that is also more than a little exasperating.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 18, 2008

In the end, I liked this movie, sometimes quite a bit; it just didn't blow me away.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 17, 2008

In the end, Steep plays like a 온라인카지노추천 infomercial -- and who wants to hand over $11 to watch one?

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 9, 2008

The movie takes us to the most dangerous peaks of the French Alps and to the breath-taking slopes of southeastern Alaska that are accessible only by helicopter.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 21, 2007
