‘The Fall Guy’ Review: Ryan Gosling Is a Lover and a (Stunt) Fighter in Surprisingly Romantic Reboot of ’80s Action Show


Co-starring with Emily Blunt, Ryan Gosling serves up one of his most appealing characters yet as a stunt man willing to risk it all in 'The Fall Guy.'

Colt sets Guinness Book records (most notably a crazy cannon roll, in which driving ace Logan Holladay flips an SUV eight and a half times), and though we know Gosling just stepped in to give the thumbs up when the stunt is done, in a classy way, he’s actually sharing credit with the crew. Blunt and Gosling share a cute scene where she orders multiple takes of a painful stunt — Colt is repeatedly lit on fire and slammed into a rock — while voicing her grievances over a bullhorn for all to hear. In the original TV series, Colt moonlighted as a bounty hunter, employing filmmaking tricks to capture his targets — a fun if contrived excuse for stunt-driving and pyrotechnic sequences.
