He’s a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows, and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy, and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right? —olisilumea

The more senior among my readers may remember the original Fall Guy TV series. I only remember it seemd to be a rather fluffy, no too ambitious B-production around Stuntman Colt Seavers and his friends. Nothing too write home about. Now, like 40 or 50 years later, and with no ideas of its own, H-wood made a huge laborious movie from the old B-series.

Nothing to say against that if you’re looking for a fun filled action flick with the intellectual approach of goldfish and a plot twist one can see from a mile away. Harmless fun for the whole family, pure escapism, some good ideas, very nice visuals, stunts galore, sexy ensemble – all very fine.

A positive was Ryan Gosling who slowly emerges as H-wood’s go-to guy. Is there anything he can’t play convincingly, any role he can’t fill? I didn’t like Emily Blunt in this movie tho. My girl is too precious, a leading lady for the heavyweight dramatic roles – light entertainment is not her forte. Did H-wood learn nothing from the Jungle Cruise disaster? The Girl on the Train and the Quiet Place movies she carried more or less alone, a regular tour de force. That is Blunt’s territory where she shines brightly, not silly Disney rompers.

The movie was also slightly too long and couldn’t decide about what it was supposed to be, comedy or action drama.

CONCLUSION: Entertaining big budget, big stars B-movie. Could’ve been better.
