If you've got an itch... I'm a Tarantino completest. Whatever he's involved in, I've got to check out. So I like weird looking guys with funny shaped heads, odd eyes and... well... haha... This was going in a direction that I probably shouldn't take it in. This is a documentary tracing the working lives of two women in the stunt industry. One is Jeannie Epper, a woman from a long line of stuntmen who is most famous for her work doubling Linda Carter on the television show Wonderwoman. Much of what we are supposed to be impressed with here is the fact that she's in her 60's and still working in the industry. It's a feat, I'll concede to that, but she just doesn't come off as a very interesting person, despite all of the claims of the interviewed people to the contrary. The interesting person here is Zoe Bell, the adorable Kiwi (New Zealander, for those who are unaware) whose big break came when Tarantino cast her as the stunt double for Uma Thurman in KILL BILL. Perhaps it's the accent. Maybe it's the cute smile. But Bell is f*cking adorable. There's no other word that describes her so aptly. So watching her get excited when she lands the job on KILL BILL nearly brought me to tears. However, seeing them in the behind the scenes stuff is a little boring. The documentary really does nothing more than scratch the surface of what the women in this industry have to deal with. It might have benefited from interviewing more stunt women... it might have helped if it detailed more about how they do the stunts or the level of danger involved in them. Whatever the case, this just wasn't my cup of tea as far as documentaries go. For someone who is interested in hitting all of the angles in which Tarantino is involved, I'll give it credit in delivering a slice of that here. But as a whole, this just wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. email this review to a friend
