Movie Reviews

Film Threat - 8/10 by Noah LeeRosenberg has succeeded in putting together a compelling story of a man, who through many defeats, has always risen to success.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by David 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.net - 8/10 by Edward 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 Oregonian - 7/10 by Marc 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.com - 7/10 by Brent 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 News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierColorful folks and cool stunts abound, but casual viewers may still utter a big "Why?"
ColeSmithey.com - 6/10 by Cole 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 Republic - 6/10 by Bill GoodykoontzA kind of "Behind the Music" for the skateboard set (only without much input from the main songwriter, as it were).
SSG Syndicate - 5/10 by Susan GrangerWhile providing a fantastically visual diversion for aspiring skateboarders, this documentary lacks any personal insight into or commentary about legendary Danny Way.
Variety - 5/10 by Joe LeydonA slickly produced, unabashedly celebratory picture about professional skateboarder Danny Way.
