Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
This impressive sports doc finds enough drama in the situation to involve a wider audience, since the archive footage of these chaps gliding through waves the size of a house is quite something.

Most importantly, Bustin' Down The Door elucidates upon the spirituality of surfing.

A subject worth exploring but, whilst old footage illustrates the storyline, this doesn't manage to strecth up until the present day.
Empire Magazine
Rating: 3/5 --
The characters aren't quite as charismatic as the Z-Boys and the editing isn't as abrasively cool, but it does give a glimpse of how an outsider lifestyle evolved into a multibillion-dollar business.

Almost all of the surfing footage is beautiful stuff, though you'll likely want to see even more.
Florida Times-Union
Rating: 3/5 --
The documentary celebrates the athleticism and creativity of the sport's unsung Nureyevs and Nijinskys.
