The Fall Guy (2024)

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The Fall Guy (2024)

Post by Leisher »

Ryan Gosling plays Colt Seavers, a stuntman for a huge Hollywood star, Tom Ryder, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Ryan is in love with a cinematographer played by Emily Blunt. Hannah Waddingham and Winston Duke round out the cast you'll know.

Note: Blunt and Gosling's chemistry is so good that I think John Krasinski should worry.

This is a fun, old school action movie. Great action, chuckles, and a decent plot. The plot made me wonder about how many stars truly are off camera, and if anything close to this has ever happened. (Not exactly like this, but Hollywood history is full of suspicious deaths.)

Stunt men and women are honored throughout, rightly so. Lee Majors and Heather Thomas make a cameo in the mid-credits scene.

Recommended.

I enjoyed it but it felt like it dragged a little early on (didn't need to be 2 hours). But yeah def worth a stream.

It was ok. I'd say a little more enjoyable than most of the rom/com/action/whatever movies I've seen the last few years. But not life changing.

You're old, nothing will be life changing any more.

In another year or so I'll completely forget I watched it, and watch it again.
