| Film ThreatNoah LeeRosenberg has succeeded in putting together a compelling story of a man, who through many defeats, has always risen to success. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohEven without its central subject actually weighing in, this likeably scruffy documentary tells you a lot about the impetus behind shredding and being gnarly. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasIt's quite astounding to see Way taking huge spills at some of his jumps only to get back on his board and try again. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanThe line between fearlessness and idiocy can be a thin one, especially in this sport, and the doc never gets too far under Way's skin. But when he soars -- on a skateboard! -- above the massive structure that kept invading armies at bay for centuries, it's pretty darn cool. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonAnother descendant of Stacy Peralta's influential Dogtown and Z-Boys, but more stylish and engaging than most of its less inquisitive, like-minded, hagiographic stunt spectaculars. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierColorful folks and cool stunts abound, but casual viewers may still utter a big "Why?" |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyIt's not many Americans whose names are engraved on the Great Wall of China. Daredevil Danny May certainly deserves the honor. Get stoked. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzA kind of "Behind the Music" for the skateboard set (only without much input from the main songwriter, as it were). |
| SSG SyndicateSusan GrangerWhile providing a fantastically visual diversion for aspiring skateboarders, this documentary lacks any personal insight into or commentary about legendary Danny Way. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonA slickly produced, unabashedly celebratory picture about professional skateboarder Danny Way. |
