A congenial doc.... I wonder if it might have been more interesting if it had widened its scope a bit -- but still, Jeannie and Zoe are likable gals.

Just as stuntwomen have to do, Double Dare pulls its punches.

Castellitto, who has won his country's best-actor award twice before, has such a haunting look in his eyes that he doesn't need to chew the scenery to get across his point. Cruz doesn't speak much, but her face screams of the pain that Italia faces.

Thin but pleasantly diverting.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2005
Micheli has enormous respect for these resilient, underappreciated performers. And after spending 81 minutes with the engaging, generous Jeannie and Zoe, it's hard to imagine anyone feeling otherwise.

Entertaining documentary about stuntwomen who do risky business for a living.
