Cool film about kayaking in general......but, it was
Good kayaking footage, annoying people
This movie had decent kayaking footage from some beautiful rivers in Mexico especially. But I found the personalities to be annoying, entitled, arrogant and reckless 20 something males, who don't seem to learn a thing after nearly losing one of their fellow kayakers. I get that some people a have an insatiable need to push the limits through extreme sports, but isn't it enough to be satisfied with having run some really tall waterfalls and gnarly whitewater? I enjoy watching kayaking movies but there are others that I think are much better. Also, the title is gimmicky, and it seems unethical to me for those involved, including the production company, to exploit the hype around an illegal and deadly act: Kayaking Niagara Falls.
