This Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt rom-com while a typically seven out of ten movie entertainment makes an upgrade to eight because of the directorial and writer's risk taking in attempting a storyline that deviants from more predictable, traditional movie plots. With a charming number of add on ending credit scenes and the atypical use of a split screen scene, The Fall Guy focuses on the behind the scenes role of stunt doubles and a rather convoluted mystery behind the disappearance of the main star of the science fiction action adventure movie within a movie. The romantic undertones and overtones between Ryan Gosling as a talented stunt double and Emily Blunt as a camera woman with higher ambitions have already started off before the movie even begins and proceeds to evolve over the course of the entire movie with good moments between the two actors. The action, drama, and the comedy are fused together in a difficult balance that eventually succeeds on the screen. The Fall Guy is entertaining and well done with a carefully but difficult to edit into a creative and somewhat unusual and entertaining storyline.
