Double Dare (2003) - 4 stars out of 10

Double Dare (2003) - 4 stars out of 10

"Double Dare" is a documentary about two Hollywood stuntwomen and their journey through a physically demanding industry.  Even though I gave this film a low rating, there isn't anything wrong with it.  I didn't really get into it but it was still interesting and informative.  The main storyline of the documentary follows Zoe Bell as she transforms from Xena into Uma Thurman's double in “Kill Bill.”  I definitely have a greater appreciation for the endurance required by these warriors.  I think that most people can appreciate this film but it because a lot cooler if you are a “Kill Bill” fan, even if the film is only included for 10 minutes.  I enjoyed seeing Quentin Tarantino in this context, getting a glimpse into his world of casting.  While it doesn't hold a ton of entertainment value like the documentaries that don't feel like documentaries, "Double Dare" serves its purpose and opens us up to the world of stuntwomen.
