"The Fall Guy emerges as a passionate ode to the brave, audacious stunt doubles, neglected by the film industry for so many decades. David Leitch offers an experience full of action, comedy, romance, and mystery, highlighted by the impressive physical feats performed by the stunt department, mostly without the aid of visual effects.
It’s a necessary tribute to those who risk their lives daily to elevate the entertainment power of cinema. Although it occasionally los…

Undoubtedly fun, even if I did want a touch more from <em>'The Fall Guy'</em>.
The cast are great, definitely the film's strongest part in my opinion. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are an all-star pair and I enjoyed them both, they worked well together. Hannah Waddingham and Aaron Taylor-Johnson add good showings too. Stephanie Hsu and Winston Duke are involved as well.
The story produces entertainment, even if it could've had more flavour added to it. I felt watching that in a few parts it does overstay its welcome ever so slightly, not for a negative impact but enough that I couldn't ra…

This does suffer a bit from having been trailed to death in the cinema, and the story is really pretty thin - but there's some engaging chemistry on display between the two stars as their adventures hot up. "Colt" (Ryan Gosling) is the stunt double for the all action hero "Tom Ryder" (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) whilst sort of dating aspiring director "Jody" (Emily Blunt). An accident on set drives "Colt" away from the business altogether until a random call from producer "Gail" (Hannah Waddingham) informs him that "Jody" is to direct her first film in Australia and he has been especially requested!…

Colt Seavers is a stuntman, like everyone else in his profession. Like every stuntman, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows, and dropped from heights for the sake of our entertainment. Now, after a near career-ending accident, he must find a missing movie star, unravel a conspiracy, and win back his love while still juggling his regular job. What could possibly go well?

The Fall Guy indeed.
Its unfortunate to see reasonable acting talent, fall victim to this genuinely unfunny, inarticulate mess of a film. A film that meanders pointlessly from place to place, with no real purpose.
The only true upside is a sprinkling of decent musical tracks by hit groups like ACDC and KISS, that work in almost any context.
In summary, Thunderstuck (sorry ACDC) by how bad this film is. If someone had constructed a coherent story, with decent narrative, wit and humour, it could have worked.Yet another missed opportunity.

It bothers me that this film didn't perform better at the box office. This movie is an incredibly fun ride with a stellar cast and some of the best action sequences I've seen on the big screen in years. The chemistry among the cast members is truly fantastic, elevating the film's enjoyment factor.
The cast is a significant highlight, with each actor bringing their A-game. The interactions between characters feel genuine, adding a layer of authenticity to the high-octane action. The camaraderie between the lead and his team is palpable, making their collective journey more engaging. This dyn…

This is way more romcom than action. It's so full of weakness; Awful 4th wall humor and hyper-clever relationship dialogue.
I hate this movie. But may enjoy ignoring it with a partner.

I'm disappointed. I was a huge fan of the series back in the day. But the movie didn't really try to capture the spirit of the show. It leans much more heavily towards being a generic romance movie. Although, to its credit, it does subvert quite a few of the romance tropes.
For an action movie that's supposed to be an homage to the unsung heroes of cinema, the stuntmen, it falls flat. I streamed the extended version, maybe the cinematic version was better. But the extended version was edited with the standard choppy style that didn't allow for the stunts to really shine. You're left with th…
