The film ‘The Stunt Driver’, directed by Michael Dowse and starring Jay Baruchel, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. The movie is a tragicomedy centered on the life of Ken Carter, a Canadian daredevil known as ‘The Mad Canadian’, who attempted to jump a rocket-powered car over the St. Lawrence River in the 1970s. Production details revealed that the crew managed filming challenges such as a tight schedule and working with a car that had been submerged in a lake. The film explores the psychological impact of high-stakes stunts and the dynamics of supporting a loved one’s dangerous ambitions. Additionally, the film’s tone was influenced by a Canada-U.S. trade war occurring during production. Based on the 1981 documentary ‘The Devil at Your Heels’, the film has now begun its theatrical release. The cast includes Ed Helms and Ben Foster alongside Baruchel. The film has received a 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics offering specific praise for Baruchel’s portrayal of Carter.
