The Fall Guy is a remake of the 1981 TV series of the same name. This remake was made by David Leitch, director of Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2 and Bullet Train.
Stuntman Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) does a lot of dangerous things as a stuntman on the film sets. After a serious accident, he has to take it easy for a while, but loses contact with the camerawoman Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt).
When he hears that Jody is now going to register his own film and use him as a stuntman, he decides to return to his profession as a stuntman. On the film set he learns that everything is different and Jody would rather not work with him. When star actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) disappears, Colt is asked to find him, so that Jody gets too red in her first directorial job.
Before he started directing, director David Leitch was also a stuntman himself and has done stunts in many films himself or helped to convey the stunts well and appreciated. It seems that with this film he wants to make some kind of ode to stuntmen from the film world. This group helps convey tense, dangerous moments in films, where people are shot, blown up, or thrown through windows, for example. Stuntmen take so many risks just to make movies impact movie audiences.
Because they are also trying to make a film themselves in this film, you get to see many behind-the-scenes moments and what this can look like in films. This way you get to see how and when they use explosions in the film, for example, and how they use props and make-up to transfer the damage from these explosions to the film set and at the castles. They manage to reliably convey many action moments in this film.
This remake is now also about the more modern aspects of the stuntman profession, because nowadays they can do more with the help of computers in films and also at times when they use stuntmen. For example, with deep fake they can stick the actors over the bodies of the stuntmen, so that it really looks as if the actors are actually doing their stunts themselves. This makes action scenes seem more and more frequent, but the presence of the stuntmen is also somewhat lost. They continue to take more and more risks, but they can see themselves less and less in films in which they performed the stunts.
In addition to the action, they also manage to add comedy to this film. The comedy in the film itself works, but the meta comedy that the film adapts to other films and stunts works best, especially for film fans, who can recognize some of these moments.
Ryan Gosling comes across well as a stuntman who tries to prove himself again after even being out of the business. Justin Eaton deserves and this film also has a lot of respect, because he is the stunt double for Ryan Gosling. Emily Blunt also comes across well as a novice director trying to film her own passion film. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt also have good chemistry together and come across convincingly as two people who were in a relationship together, but are now more like exes. Even though one of them tries to bring more passion into their relationship, so that they can perhaps try the relationship again.
