‘The Fall Guy’ Falls A Bit Short

‘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. ‘The Fall Guy’ landed in theaters on May 3.
