Stunt motorcyclist turns to armed robbery to support infant son, generational hijinx ensue.

You'd figure Knieval's leathers are so distinctly recognizeable that he'd be easily fingered by his victims.

This has Ol' HeyGirl in it, doesn't it? Looked weird and intriguing and like something I wanted to get to, though I haven't done so yet.

Strange to see such an enigmatic and haunted title applied to a my-bad-ass-hobby-becomes-a-vehicle-for-adventure film.

It's like The Fast and the Furious meets Mystic River.

Set aside some time as it's, uh, not a short movie. Yes, he's all muscled and tatted in this one, but so dreamy and soft spoken too. I don't regret the 3 days I devoted to watching it could have been a little tighter.

Haven't seen it yet, but definitely will, for the locations alone. I've seen several local spots in the trailers.

Yes, Central New York is like a co-star in this flick. It's the Schenectadiest film I've ever seen.

I always thought of You Can Count on Me as a Schenectadyish film.

Hmmm... I think I need to produce a central NY film festival.

Best film shot in Schenectady since The Way We Were.
