Thanks a lot acorns!
Your kind generosity keeps the reviews coming!
It is only until now that an all-out action romance comedy, shamelessly celebrating stunt people and their teams of assistants, has been made.
A lot of stunt people and film crew assistants are cheering over this great movie.
Genius British screenwriter Drew Pearce provides a highly polished script, steeped in the lexicon of movie crew lingo .
"Holster that."
The wild stunts and over-the-top action sequences serve to accentuate bang-on performances by Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, two of the finest actors in the business.
Ryan Gosling is redeemed for his toolishness regarding everything and anything "Barbie."
Just, Ryan, don't do it again.
Emily Blunt is sensational as always.
Director David Leitch ("Bullet Train"), a stunt performer, stunt coordinator, and actor, shows off his virtuosic skills with splash and fury.
If ever there was a big screen IMAX movie to sit with your pals and eat popcorn, "The Fall Guy" is that precious movie.
The extended cut does go on a bit too long for its own good, but sometimes more is more.
I had so much fun watching this masterfully crafted action/romance picture that I could watch it again anytime if even just for its clever dialogue, and to see Emily Blunt do her thing of course.
Fast, sexy, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining, "The Fall Guy" is a true masterpiece regardless of whether it's the short or long version that you see.
Memo to the Academy, if you want greater viewership then start giving out Oscars for Stunt People.
Rated PG-13. 146 mins.
