What You Need To Know:
This forgettable movie suffers from a predictable script, mundane performances and inconsistent film quality. The director’s concept of interlacing real Supercross race footage with close-ups of his performers was daring and may have seemed good on paper, but the film quality between the “real” racing and the “staged” script is painfully apparent. The redeeming aspects of the film include several positive Biblical references to the story of David and Goliath, as well as a strong sense of family, brotherhood and self-sacrifice. However, SUPERCROSS focuses a lot on seeking physical thrills and pleasure. Accompanying the intense action sequences are 28 mostly light obscenities, three profanities and other immorality, including implied fornication, which definitely make SUPERCROSS an extreme caution.

More Detail:
SUPERCROSS – THE MOVIE is the story of two brothers, KC and Trip Carlyle, and their journey to become champion racers in the high-stakes, competitive world of Supercross extreme motorcycle racing. To do so, they must put aside their differences and learn to work together to achieve their dreams.
KC Carlyle is not nearly the risk-taker or natural talent on a bike that his younger brother Trip is, but KC is the one contracted for a “factory” (corporately sponsored) ride on the Supercross circuit. Driven by jealousy, Trip sets out to become a “privateer” rider without a corporate sponsor and beat his brother for the championship. However, during one race, Trip’s career is cut short by a horrific motorcycle crash. KC then loses his factory ride and is forced to become a privateer. As Trip matures, he realizes that his natural instincts for racing and his counsel could benefit his older brother’s career. Putting aside their differences, Trip and KC work together to become the “David that beats Goliath,” as the privateers seek to beat out the corporate factory rides.
Although SUPERCROSS contains several intense action sequences and exciting race moments, the movie is not nearly as extreme as the sport of Supercross. If anything, the movie is forgettable. Held back by an all-too-predictable script from the writers and less-than-spectacular performances from the actors, this movie falls short of being anything extreme. The director’s concept of interlacing real Supercross race footage with close-ups of his performers was daring and may have seemed good on paper, but the film quality between the “real” racing and the “staged” script is painfully apparent. Also, in an attempt to create more depth, the script uses female love interests for the Brothers Carlyle. However, the relationships are shallow and forced.
The redeeming aspects of SUPERCROSS include several positive Biblical references to the story of David and Goliath, as well as a strong sense of family, brotherhood and self-sacrifice, but, the movie also focuses a lot on seeking physical thrills and pleasure. The movie’s intense action sequences, coupled with more than its fair share of obscenities and immorality, including implied fornication or premarital sex, definitely make this a movie an extreme caution.
