Stuntman

If this mess were only 30 minutes long it would be tolerable.

But someone thought that there are enough bored people to sit through 90 minutes of a cheesy "follow your dreams" show that should be on the Hallmark Channel.

The original Evel was a true Daredevil. He attempted to cross the Snake River in 1974.

This clown does it 42 years later and wonders why nobody showed up.

This video sat on the shelves 3 plus years for a reason.

I believe the work stunt men/women do is impressive.

However this old guy is not the one to tell the story. It should come from someone younger and who has a personality.

This was amazing. The story was so well built up that the whole family got hooked. And when it peaked we all was almost screaming. A true and honest story about a family father with a rather dangerous work and now with the mind set on one specific super dangerous task.

The "stuntman" title is a bit misleading. It begins with Bauer's TV and movie stunts, which carries it a third of the way. The remaining two thirds is "daredevil" stuff, documenting a long and boring and constantly stumbling project to do the rocket over Snake River thing. The film is fifty percent meh.

It would have been easy to mess up this film. It could have been too simple and cheap, and come off like a Youtube video. It could have been over dramatized, and come off as campy. Instead, what we get is a really personal and great perseverance incredible story. Close look inside the life of a hard working every day man with one hell of a dream. Through pure chance, he learns of another dreamer, the son of the man who built Knievel's rocket. Together, the dream becomes real. And the film, follows this story perfectly. Never over the top, never losing the emotional appeal. The directing and editing were perfectly paced. Some of the most unexpected moments had me in tears.

I loved the story and it's direction, didn't expect much and was surprised on how the story unveiled.
