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.

Good kayaking footage, annoying people
Good if you're into kayaking, but name is misleading
As others have pointed put, they don't do it and I have a feeling they never even intended on doing it. Its 98.9% guaranteed to be a suicide mission and that's exactly what we all would have seen had he actually gone ahead and did it. That said, if you liked this movie check out art of flight, its better and along the same lines (less the fake suicide mission at the end).
Intensely irritating
Love sports bios and docs, But this one fails. All the kayakers are intensely irritating especially the little one. And as for the title - well you guessed it.
