I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
A self-focused BMX dirt rider aspires to become the next stunt champion and is forced to mentor a troubled teen. Although i like movies about sports i only like the ones that have good characters and a story unfortunately this one doesn't have any of it everyone is just boring and even annoying at times and there's only like a 20% to 30% about BMX the rest of the film is about this kid arguing with his parents, cleaning the bathroom, his friends addicted to drugs mum and drugs in general. Heroes of Dirt tries to become some kind of "Step Up" or "Rocky" but instead of dancing and boxing it's all about BMX (kinda) the only good thing about it was the stunts and the acting was fine but the problem were the poorly written characters and story.
Rad, was a great Bmx movie and still is. The riders of the movie Rad, pushed the sport in freestyle, they were great innovators. This new movie Accelerate,has been a very anticipated movie that people who are into this great sport, have been waiting to see. Regardless of the bike aspects: park ,dirt, street, vert, flatland or racing, this movie is going kick some butt. I see this movie with a more eloquent storyline than Rad. Not to say Rad did not have a good storyline, cause i really enjoyed it. There's nothing much else to say about this movie other than I'm really psyched to see old riders come out like Cru Jones(Bill Allen), and modern day riders like Brian Foster, Steve Crandall, Chris Doyle, Joel Moody, and others. I can't wait to go see it. You don't have to be into bikes to go see it. If you like watching extreme sports,or something that you don't see everyday, then I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
