It’s a shame so few people went to the cinema to see one of the most fun movies of the year. David Leitch’s ode to stunt performers, romance and power ballads is a real treat that hopefully more people discover on VOD. After sustaining a terrible injury in an on-set accident, stuntman Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) returns to a movie directed by his ex Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt) to double for a troublesome star (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) who has just gone missing. Let’s not pretend this isn’t a story we’ve not all seen told hundreds of times before, but the presentation of THE FALL GUY, the care and attention given to crafting every action scene and the sizzling chemistry of the stars makes it stand out from the crowd. It was probably always going to take a stuntman-turned-director to really get the stunts as an Oscar category debate some real attention, but if you have any doubts, just stick around through the credits to have your mind changed.
