Highlights
- Mixed reviews from the netizens.
- The story was normal, but some moments were hilarious. It’s all about the stunts.
The Fall Guy is an action comedy movie released in theaters on May 3, 2024. Directed by David Leitch, the story of the film was written by Drew Pearce. The film is receiving mixed reviews from the audience and critics. Ryan and Blunt’s duo fails to entertain the audience, and there is nothing interesting in the story. The terrific action scenes surprised everyone, including me. After watching this movie, people are asking The Academy to create a category for Best Stunts and praising the movie for showcasing the hardship of the stunt performers.
The one scene in the movie that references the abusive relationship between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard gained lots of negative comments. Some even took it to X (formally known as Twitter), stating that “The makers made a distasteful joke about domestic abuse and asked why we are writing these kinds of lines into movies and referred to it as Nasty work.” Everyone has enjoyed the movie to the fullest except for that single scene; despite the negative clouds, the movie is still a whopping success.
