🏍️ And I am more than a bit surprised about this myself since #VivaKnievel certainly tries to pack in a LOT. Obviously daredevil stunts since it's about #EvelKnievel. But also drug trafficking, estranged father and son reconnecting and a female photojournalist love interest. 📽️🎞️

🏍️ On paper a film about #EvelKnievel playing himself (albeit somewhat fictionalized version) fighting drug traffickers sounds like absolute garbage. And it's by no means a great film BUT... Surprisingly it's nowhere near as rubbish as one might expect it to be. 😯 #VivaKnievel 📽️🎞️
