Fall Guy
Being as obsessed as I have been with Ryan Gosling, since my formative years with The Notebook, and taken to new heights with Barbie, I was very much looking forward to Fall Guy, but this just didn't quite have it. David Leitch's tone for his movies has definitely shifted a bit from the original John Wick to Deadpool 2 to Bullet Train, and Fall Guy shaped up to be perhaps the silliest of his movies yet, but this just wasn't funny, even though it desperately needed the humor to make it all fly. Leitch didn't write this; however, and as it was an ode to his stuntperson heritage, the stunts and action shown were top-notch as expected. The ending really suffered from a lack of logic, and made the whole movie unravel. I was entertained; however, despite the disappointment, and my eternal passion for Gosling has not changed. Your heroes are sometimes just stuck in mediocre movies, and it's not their fault.
