    Dowse has been one of the foremost purveyors of the sweeter, smaller and dorkier Canadian brand of performatively macho masculinity since 2002, so it’s hard to believe there was subject matter this suited to him he hadn’t done yet: a guy who had an NFB documentary made…

    Tonally all over the place with a script that seems to not understand momentum or have a clear point of view, this silly and often warm hearted ode to living life on the edge is nevertheless a pretty amusing biopic about “The Mad Canadian” stunt driver (NOT daredevil, don’t…
