Movies are a big part of many people’s lives from keeping up with trailers to finding the big hits. One movie that stood out in the recent releases was The Fall Guy released on Friday, April 3rd. The movie features Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt in an action-packed love story based on an old show from the 80s.
The Fall Guy is about a stuntman named Colt Seavers who suffers a career-ending injury while filming a movie causing him to give up on his dreams. Years later Colt gets a call asking him to return to stunt acting and film one last movie. When he arrives he realizes the director is Jody, the girl he once loved before his big injury and wants to close with her again. After talking to the producer Colt gets assigned a task to hunt down his look-alike actor Tom Ryder who has gone missing and save Jody’s movie. There is not much to say, the movie was your generic action-style movie with explosions and fighting.
Throughout the adventure of Colt Seavers, there are some comedic moments but overall the movie lacks that perfect mix of Comedy and Action. Some action scenes were too long and the romance story could have been better. Overall the movie was a solid 6/10 it was entertaining to watch but I definitely wouldn’t see it again. If you enjoy this style of movie then I think you would like it but it’s not for everyone.
