The Fall Guy (2024)
1/10
20 minutes, switched it off.

Boring/10.

Lifeless action without much action. There's a fall, a car flip and some interaction between the stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, there's no spark or chemistry there and it's padded out with jokes that seem to be aimed at tweens.

Hollywood's dying - and maybe that's the joke here, but it's not a very good joke and the timing's off. Whoever wrote this deserves a day out at Microsoft/chatGPT/whatever. I've always been mystified by Gosling's "lead man" status, he did United States of Leland and Half Nelson which were both pretty good, but I've found him wooden and uninteresting in pretty much everything else since and that lack of interest gets further cemented here. Still, enjoy the money Ryan, it's looking to be a future of straight to video on demand... Speaking of which, this film may well have been better used on Tubi and may at least have come with a director that has a sense of humour.

Yeah, 20 minutes, not worth the time investment to finish, if you're watching this on Netflix, there's almost certainly something better on Amazon or vice/versa.
