With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and anyone who likes learning something new. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. Same wavelength as Senna.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
A tense, tight close-up of stunt man Ken Carter's role on the stock-car racing track. Risking life and limb to rocket a car from a ramp over a parked line of cars takes more than the will to make a living. What else is involved is shown by the film as the camera looks and listens while the stunt man readies for his act and then makes his wild ride.
