The Fall Guy

Charm is in short supply at the movies these days, but Gosling and Blunt give us every reason to believe in it.

I found the film to be exhaustingly loud and not terribly inspired.

Someone needed to supply a heftier story. A script that fleshed out the time in between all the mayhem.

It's absolutely popcorn fun.

“The Fall Guy” is a large-scale entertainment that can be enjoyed with a bag of popcorn at your side and your mind in a relaxed state. [Full review in Spanish]

The thing that drove me craziest was how Leitch refused to let the story breathe. It is as if he can’t help but call attention to every beat, every gag, and every emotional button that’s being pushed.

It’s Gosling and Blunt who always keep it light on its feet. It’s flippant but absorbing too.

“The Fall Guy” is everything we needed it to be and nothing more. And that is what makes it the perfect summer blockbuster.

Now comes this latest underwhelming star vehicle, a missed opportunity that squanders a committed cast, inserts ludicrous product placement at just about every turn...

A quintessential example of too much and not enough, where all the lovelorn regret and expertly timed explosions can’t compensate for a thinness in the story and characters.
