Evel Knievel Had Nothing on the Guys from "Nitro Circus: The Movie"

Kids... Don't try this at home...

Unless you want to be famous!

The Story:

Travis Pastrana and his crew of daredevil buddies take extreme sports...to the extreme!

Sit back and watch 90 minutes of death-defying and sometimes amusing stunts performed for your entertainment...

As well as theirs!

The natural comparison to this film would be Johnny Knoxville and his Jackass series.  In fact, Mr. Knoxville stops by and provides some talking head insight into the Nitro Circus.

The best piece of advice he offers... Jackass designs the stunts to fail spectacularly and be hilarious.

If the Nitro Circus fails... they could be killed.

Sobering thought.

So the film follows them around the globe as they prepare for their performance for a sold-out crowd in Las Vegas. 

Many of the stunts they perform have to be done outside of America, for legal reasons.

The movie also spends time allowing you to get to know the crew, so they aren't just faces performing for your amusement.

Celebrity fans, including Channing Tatum (you can never have too much Channing Tatum in a film!) comment on how amazing these guys are.

And they really are.

Give it a whirl though, I promise you won't be bored.

Available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.

Final Grade: B

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I don't need to buy it, but I'd have no problems watching the stuntwork again.
