The Fall Guy (2024)
8/10
Gosling Shines
2 May 2024
Have you ever wondered if the stunt double in a movie had their own stunt double?

It might sound wild, but that's the wild and quirky charm 'Fall Guy' brings to the table. From its head-scratching quotes and title play to the unexpected plot twists, this film is a rollercoaster of entertainment. And don't get me started on the behind-the-scenes-exploring the intricate world of movie-making, where the magic of doubles, angles, pyro, and action scenes unfolds.

But that's just the beginning. As a film enthusiast, I was captivated by the flow and display of behind the scenes of this film. Ryan Gosling's character, Colt, embodies this mix of vulnerability and resilience-taking beatings like a champ while navigating the complexities of romance and regret.

One of my favorite scenes was him singing to Taylor Swift in the car because he knew he messed up and got caught by his former love, awkward, I know, but hilarious for me as a viewer. I've been there before.

The movie truly has it all-action-packed sequences, top-notch cinematography, and a seamless thematic flow. It's a blend of tension, romance, and laugh-out-loud humor that keeps you hooked. And those memorable quotes? They hit hard, especially when Colt confesses to Jody (Emily Blount),

'None of it ever hurt as much as not being with you.' Referring to Colt's stunts hurting him but not as much as losing the love of his life.

In a nutshell, 'Fall Guy' is a must-watch that showcases Ryan Gosling's versatile acting prowess, placing him in a league akin to Ryan Reynolds. If you're up for a film that surprises, entertains, and tugs at your heartstrings, this one's a winner."L.
