A Leap of Faith That Falls Short The Stunt Driver, a biographical comedy drama about Canadian daredevil Ken Carter's ill fated attempt to jump his rocket car across the St.
Lawrence River, has all the makings of a thrilling true story adaptation: Jay Baruchel as the charismatic lead actor, a talented supporting cast that includes Ed Helms and Ben Foster, and a fascinating real life tale of risk taking and adventure.
The film's promising premise and nostalgic 1970s setting are not enough to overcome its shortcomings.
