About The Fall Guy
After a serious on-set accident nearly ends his career, stuntman Colt Seavers is trying to get back to work and to the woman he loved. When a movie star vanishes under mysterious circumstances, Colt uses his insider knowledge of Hollywood sets, rivalries, and practical stunt craft to follow a trail that other investigators overlook. As he pieces together clues, he juggles high-risk set pieces, the politics of a blockbuster production, and a strained relationship with Jody Moreno, hoping to prove he still belongs in the business and in her life. The film keeps the tone light while pushing forward a mystery tied to showbiz secrets.
Directed by David Leitch, The Fall Guy adapts material associated with the 1980s Glen A. Larson series, updated by Drew Pearce for a 2024 big-screen audience. The cast is led by Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Hannah Waddingham, and Teresa Palmer in supporting roles.
Critics and audiences responded with mixed to positive reviews, reflected in a 6.975/10 vote average from 3,416 votes. Many praised the blend of comic banter and practical stunt work, noting themes around the unseen labor behind spectacle, loyalty among crew members, and the cost of chasing fame. Some reviewers wanted a tighter plot, but most enjoyed the film's heart and kinetic set pieces.
The film helped refocus attention on the craft of stunt performers, highlighting practical effects over digital shortcuts. Several sequences and behind-the-scenes clips circulated online, sparking conversations about safety, recognition, and the physical artistry that goes into action filmmaking. Gosling and Blunt's chemistry and the movie's self-aware take on Hollywood gossip also kept it in cultural conversation.
Released widely in theaters in 2024, The Fall Guy found an audience among fans of action comedies and star-driven summer fare. Its combination of set-piece spectacle and romantic stakes made it a popular choice for viewers looking for mainstream entertainment with a wink toward old-school stunt work.
What Viewers Are Saying
Viewers generally praise The Fall Guy for its strong cast, particularly the chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, as well as its thrilling and visually impressive stunt sequences. Many appreciate the film as a tribute to stunt performers, highlighting the practical effects and action choreography. However, some audiences find the story thin or unfocused, criticizing its pacing and reliance on romantic comedy elements and fourth-wall humor that detracts from the action. Opinions vary on how well the movie balances its homage with entertainment, leaving some fans of the original series disappointed by the tonal shift.
