Evel Knievel on Tour, directed by Damien Chazelle, captures this larger-than-life character's relentless drive and inner turmoil. Set in 1974, it’s a deep dive into the psyche of Knievel as he gears up for his infamous Snake River jump. Chazelle pulls you into the chaotic world of stunt performance, where the stakes are as high as the jumps themselves. The pacing is deliberate, building tension as Evel wrestles with his demons, and the atmosphere feels gritty, almost raw, thanks to practical effects that ground the outlandish stunts in reality. The performances are layered, particularly the lead, who gives a gritty portrayal of Knievel's duality—brave yet deeply flawed. It’s a unique reflection on ambition and the price of fame.
