The documentary film follows legendary stuntman Eddie Braun as he attempts one of the most dangerous stunts in history. Contemplating retirement and having survived over three decades of hellacious car crashes, explosions, high falls and death-defying leaps, Eddie decides to complete what his childhood hero never finished – the infamous Snake River Canyon rocket jump – an audacious televised event that almost killed famed daredevil, Evel Knievel.

It gets caught up in its own logistics in a way that's a bit of a drag, but Eddie Braun is a fascinating character.

Well-crafted, the film's appeal nonetheless depends greatly on whether you find Braun's quest brave and inspiring or sort of a pointless childhood dream that did not require adult actualization.

Judging by how seared into Eddie Braun's young imagination Evel Knievel's 1974 attempt to rocket across an Idaho canyon was, this film could leave a similarly lasting impression on viewers today.

Rated: 3/5

Braun's commitment to the project is admirable, but Stuntman only offers superficial insight into his mindset as a married father of four.

But ultimately, Stuntman is a sincerely affecting and tense document of this notably more humble undertaking."

Well done film about determination, professional excellence, and ambition. This was not made for the movies or TV. This is real life, and as real as it gets. Outstanding production and editing. The music is amazing!! Must see this.
