If you regularly go to social networks, then you definitely did not miss the quite original promotion of The Fall Guy Ryan Gosling released last May. Inspired by the 80s series The Fall Man, this action film is a hilarious tribute to the stunt profession.
Barbie’s old man Ken here plays a doppelgänger who gets shot at, blown up, smashed, thrown out of windows and always falls higher and higher… to the delight of the audience. After an accident that nearly ends his career, this anonymous movie hero must find a missing star, foil a conspiracy, and try to win back the woman of his life (Emily Blunt), risking death every day.
Action, humor and alchemy
After separately starring in the summer 2023 cinematic clash dubbed “Barbenheimer” by industry professionals, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt star in The Fall Guy, an action-packed comedy directed by David Leitch. A genre that suits these two actors wonderfully. Their palpable friendship and their alchemy is the spice of this production which was generally appreciated by the audience with an average of 3.6 out of 5.
But The Fall Guy is above all a declaration of the director’s love for the profession of stuntman, which he himself supported on franchises such as xXx, Matrix or 300. The approach was especially appreciated by Steven Spielberg himself, who named the feature film after Ryan. Gosling revealed in an interview.
In any case, Fall Boy is pure entertainment that hides some of the mysteries of action filmmaking. And it can be discovered from 21:09 on Canal+.
