Double Dare (2004)
8/10
If the rig is up, and Zoe can't do it, you know there's something wrong with the rigging

This happened to be on television, and I immediately decided to check it out when I looked it up, a few hours before it came on. I am very glad that I did. I have never heard of this before, but I instantly got into it. This follows two talented stunt women, one who's been in the business for decades(does the title Wonder Woman ring a bell?) and one who came into it much more recently(and worked on Xena!). It is quite engaging, and whilst it features numerous celebrities and a sequence from a nightclub, after-party kind of thing, it does not at any point lose itself in the glamour, or become a mere promotional piece. What really drives this is the personal touch, the people. There are interviews with big names, including Spielberg. This is well-edited, and the pace is great, not too fast and not slow. There are clips from the movies and shows they appeared in, conventions for The Warrior Princess, an awards ceremony, and you get an idea of what it's like to try to make a living for this duo. The music is fitting and cool. This is informational, entertaining and interesting. Also, Bell is *hawt*; I'm thrilled to see that she's had a lot of jobs since this was produced, and she's apparently acting some, too. There is a little strong language and sexual dialog(and imagery, well, skimpy outfits) in this. I recommend this to any fan of film and those who want to know about the industry. 8/10
