‘The Fall Guy’ follows Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), a stuntman for
world-famous actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) who abandons the industry and
his girlfriend, Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt), following an accident on set. When Ryder
is cast in a new film directed by Moreno, Seavers is lured back into the game later
by producer Gail Meyer (Hannah Waddingham) at what he believes is the request of his
ex. But arriving on set, he learns it’s because Meyer needs him to track down Ryder,
who’s gone missing. As he tries to bring back the star, reconnect with Moreno and
save the film, Seavers finds himself a real-life stuntman as he lands in the middle
of international crimes much bigger than he had imagined. Reggie “The Reel Critic”
Ponder shares his thoughts on the film, which he describes as “an action movie on
steroids” — though it has some flaws.
