Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt -a match made in popcorn heaven- keep this sleek action-comedy charged, until the script runs out of narrative gasoline. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Fall Guy won’t be changing the industry, but it does make for a very good time at the movies.

It just delivered what it set out to do. It was funny, it was entertaining, it was romantic, and the stunts was cool.

...an appealing premise that’s employed to watchable yet thoroughly hit-and-miss effect by Leitch...
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 5, 2024
Charm is in short supply at the movies these days, but Gosling and Blunt give us every reason to believe in it.

Sometimes we just want to watch movie stars being charming.

The Fall Guy’s star power and well staged action scenes make it a solid recommendation. Ironically, a greater emphasis on a tighter script instead of bigger and badder stunts would have made for one of 2024’s top films.

A film as silly as this MUST be consistently funny for the premise to work. At the very least, the chemistry between the two leads is non-negotiable. And on both ends, The Fall Guy crashes to the floor with no safety net.

It’s hyperaware of its artifice. And yet the film’s central romance is sweet and sincere and appeals to the audience’s nostalgic hunger for earnest, straightforward love stories in movies.

The Fall Guy is an action comedy that feels like a throwback to when movies could be smart about their execution and dumb about their plot, and still be considered “good”.

The Fall Guy has a few stunt sequences that are fun and a wonderful stunt dog performance in the character of Jean Claude, but it fails to capitalize on any of its parts. The stunt bloopers at the end...are more charming than the previous two hours.
Full Review | Original Score: 48/100 | May 27, 2024
This self-indulgent action-packed rom-com works on steroids, overloaded by a variety of impossible acrobatics, falls, and explosions to the point of exhaustion.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | May 27, 2024
A great example of how to adapt classic TV shows, using the idea as a means of conveying some interesting, clever ideas and great entertainment all around...

Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling's chemistry is more exciting than any of the stunts.
Full Review | Original Score: B+ | May 26, 2024
A highly stylized, dumb and empty exercise in meta action.
Full Review | Original Score: C | May 25, 2024
Strap in for an explosively entertaining blockbuster ride with both Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt on brilliant form – just make sure you stick around for the wonderful end-credits making-of sequence. Roll on the spicy margaritas!

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the stunt work in The Fall Guy; it’s everything around it that lets the movie (and the audience) down.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 24, 2024
For those looking for a theatrical escape this weekend, I recommend this film.

The Fall Guy is not the answer to summer blockbusters that we’ve all been waiting for, but it could have been...At the end of the day, though, it’s hard to complain about watching Ryan Gosling wear a cool jacket, kick some ass, and save the day.
