“The Fall Guy” starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt had its world premiere this past week at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. This new action film will be released on May 2, 2024 and it generated a ton of buzz at the festival with rave reviews from critics.

The movie is directed by David Leitch, known for action films like “Bullet Train” and “Deadpool 2.” The film combines action with heart and a large dose of comedy. It’s based on the television show from the 80s of the same name with Gosling playing daredevil stuntman named Colt Seavers.

The movie keeps the core concept of a stuntman-bounty hunter and delivers a worthy tribute to the original show starring Lee Majors and the beautiful Heather Thomas.

After the premiere, social media sites were flooded with positive reactions as both fans and critics seemed to love the movie. All of this buzz and the reaction of critics has led to a very positive score so far on Rotten Tomatoes.

Overall, “The Fall Guy” seems to be a crowd-pleaser, offering a perfect blend of action, humor, and a behind-the-scenes look at the world of stunts.

It looks like Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt have another massive hit on their hands, and Hollywood can get excited about a summer blockbuster that lives up to the hype.
