The Fall Guy (M)

He’s a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?

Cast: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Teresa Palmer

Director: David Leitch

★★★★ "Despite the title emphasizing action and spectacle, so much of The Fall Guy’s success hinges on the casting of Gosling and Blunt, who are sublime." DEN OF GEEK

★★★★ "Two hours of zingers with impeccable timing, two bona fide movie stars with palpable chemistry, several enjoyably meta send-ups of the business and, of course, plenty of crazy stunts." GUARDIAN

★★★★ "features great comedic performances, fun action sequences and a nice homage to the stunt community, who keep these kinds of films afloat." SCREEN RANT

"The Fall Guy feels like a nostalgic trip back, a nudge towards how movies used to be and should be more like – sincere and fun and romantic – all while being an unapologetic celebration of crew." FILM INQUIRY

"A fun-filled, fun-loving love letter to the undervalued stunt performance profession. It’s full-gear popcorn entertainment that only someone wholly passionate about stunt work could deliver." INVERSE

"Maybe the most surprising thing about The Fall Guy is how genuinely romantic it is." NEW YORK MAGAZINE
