Contrary to many of my previous movie reviews, "The Fall Guy" left me deeply disappointed, and I'm not inclined to jump on the bandwagon of praise. It's not to say that praise isn't warranted, but the film surprised me with its numerous shortcomings. While the stunts are undeniably impressive, perhaps the best in movie history, the glaring lack of well-scripted dialogue and a compelling plot significantly detract from its overall quality.
Moreover, it seemed that the movie prioritized showcasing Ryan Gosling's appearance over demonstrating any depth or range in character development. Yes, the chemistry between Gosling and Emily Blunt is believable, but ultimately, the film felt more like a drawn-out chick flick than a substantial cinematic experience.
While the ending may offer some satisfaction, it's not enough to redeem the film entirely. If your sole reason for watching "The Fall Guy" is to admire Gosling's good looks, I find it hard to believe, but even then, the movie leaves much to be desired.
