If there was a film to show how versatile Ryan Gosling is and the work that stunt performers do The Fall Guy gives you a comedic look at it along with a great story.

A down-and-out stuntman must find the missing star of his ex-girlfriend’s blockbuster film.

The chemistry and comedic timing between the two leads, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, in this is amazing.

What a ton of fun, it is packed with incredible stunts, none of them CGI, it’s funny and charming and exciting in every second.

The camera work is flawless, the cinematography beautiful, the casting perfect, the costumes look cool, and they have a dog that is only trained to follow French commands.

I loved the movie for its celebration of stunt craft and its people. A film that welcomes you without prerequisites, The Fall Guy, seeks to reignite that spark of unadulterated entertainment.

It aims to dazzle with the sheer magnetism of its leads, thrust into a whirlwind of romance and adventure, harking back to the days when stunts were real and filmmaking was a team sport, offering a joyride that’s as heartwarming as it is thrilling.

Yet, beyond the adrenaline, there’s a poignant commentary on the digital age’s challenges to authenticity, making The Fall Guy a vibrant counterpoint to the prevailing trends of faceless, CGI-dominated blockbusters.

It’s a film that doesn’t just want to entertain; it wants to remind us of the value of genuine connection, both on the screen and in the stunts that make us hold our breath.

In doing so, it doesn’t just invite audiences to have fun; it demands it, championing the kind of cinema that’s been overshadowed by the gravitas of today’s tentpoles.

My Rating: 9/10
