It’s Gosling and Blunt who always keep it light on its feet. It’s flippant but absorbing too.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 10, 2024

“The Fall Guy” is everything we needed it to be and nothing more. And that is what makes it the perfect summer blockbuster.

| Nov 6, 2024

Now comes this latest underwhelming star vehicle, a missed opportunity that squanders a committed cast, inserts ludicrous product placement at just about every turn...

| Sep 16, 2024

A quintessential example of too much and not enough, where all the lovelorn regret and expertly timed explosions can’t compensate for a thinness in the story and characters.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 16, 2024

Fast, sexy, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining, "The Fall Guy" is a true masterpiece regardless of whether its the short or long version that you see.

| Original Score: FIVE STARS | Sep 9, 2024

Most fun movie of the summer. Action packed thrill-ride full of hilarious movie references and insane action sequences while paying homage to the brave stunt performers. Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling have great chemistry that never feels forced.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 5, 2024

It should work. Two great stars, lots of insider jokes about the movie biz, some behind-the-scenes Hollywood insights... But no, sorry. Not this time.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 23, 2024

'The Fall Guy' Is a Cute Rom-Com Buried in a Convoluted Action Movie.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 15, 2024

It starts out great, thanks to its charming stars ... and lots of funny bits. But, this is about a stuntman, and at a certain point the action sequences take over and don’t let up. By the end, I was tired – and not in a good way.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 10, 2024

A celebration of stunt work and those who perform it, The Fall Guy thoroughly entertains with its action and wit.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2024

If you can survive the childish romantic banter, The Fall Guy is a fun thrill ride when it comes to all the stunts. There is also great chemistry between Gosling and Blunt even with them having to spout their inane lines.

| Original Score: B | Aug 6, 2024

It’s a testament to Leitch’s energy as a director that the consistent action doesn’t become tiresome because there’s always something to enjoy and appreciate on the screen, whether it’s a choreographed brawl or someone being set on fire multiple times.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2024

With some brains, a lot of heart, old school stunt work, and an authentic romance, it's some real old-fashioned moviemaking, and a less maudlin look at the industry than Hal Needham's Hooper. Could've used more bar brawls, though.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 27, 2024

The nifty action sequences never overpower the amusing interludes (love the aural nod to Lee Majors’ The Six Million Dollar Man) or the disarming performances by Gosling and Blunt.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 27, 2024

This package is absolutely and undeniably entertaining, offering up action, romance, and a mostly coherent storyline sure to deliver a good time.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 27, 2024

So, if you enjoy Leitch's work (namely BULLET TRAIN and the quippy HOBBS AND SHAW), you should have a good time here. I probably enjoyed the former more, but THE FALL GUY is probably the most accomplished of the trio.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 26, 2024

... it’s fantastic that the film not only lives up to the hype, it exceeds it. With luck, this prequel-like tale is only the first of a few cinematic iterations, because this cast rules and the possibilities of where they can go with this are endless.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 23, 2024

Utilizing the standard action cliches to great effect, The Fall Guy uses its wonderful cast and extremely silly, over-the-top plot to deliver a highly-entertaining, action-packed love letter to the stunt community.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 23, 2024

The best parts are where the film borrows from the original series... squarely aimed at Gosling's fanbase... forgiving the constant self-awareness will carry viewers through to the credits on charm alone.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 21, 2024

With decades of stunt-work to his name, Leitch is in the unique position to present his thoroughly entertaining, albeit a little bit mindless, thesis as to why there desperately needs to be an Oscar category for stunts.
