After the earth-shattering success ofBarbie, fans expected Ryan Gosling to deliver a summer blockbuster withThe Fall Guy. Sadly, Gosling’s Kenergy seemed to fail in driving the audience to the theaters as it turned out to be a massive box office flop.
It must be noted that despite the poor box office results, the David Leitch brainchild did critically very well. Several critics claimed that the film was entertaining and was a solid one-time watch. However, some fans don’t share similar sentiments on Reddit after completingThe Fall Guy.
Everyone knows that cinema is subjective and a particular movie does not need to be appreciated by all. ButThe Fall Guydefies even the simplest of logic for its mindless action which does not justify its ratings.

David Leitchhas given some fan-favorite action entertainers previously likeJohn Wick,Deadpool 2, andBullet Train. When he collaborated with the Barbenheimer starsRyan Goslingand Emily Blunt, everyone expected a box office banger. AlthoughThe FallGuyfailed commercially, it had a positive word-of-mouth and even scored an impressive 81% critics rating onRotten Tomatoes.

Even another renowned Canadian Ryan ReynoldspraisedGosling’s latest. But a RedditorErringHerdhas claimed that the film defies plain logic to infuse loads of action in the plot.
The whole plan relies on framing a person that wasn’t even in the country at the time the murder happened – and he has multiple witnesses and flight records to prove it.
The Fall Guyfeatured how Ryan Gosling’s stuntman Colt tries to help his ex-girlfriend, played by Blunt to complete her directorial debut. Sadly, things go wrong as Colt Seavers gets mixed up in a massive conspiracy involving Aaron-Taylor Johnson’s action superstar Tom Ryder.

ButThe Fall Guy‘s case is a little different asWorld of Reelcriticized that Leitch’s overload of high-octane pieces can make some viewers feel“pummeled by the film’s relentless nature”.
