What’s it about?

Renowned stuntman Colt Seavers is pulled from an enforced retirement when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears. As the mystery surrounding the missing actor deepens, Colt soon finds himself ensnared in a sinister plot that pushes him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.

What did we think?

Anthony Sherratt says: As a fan of the original Lee Majors 80s TV series about a stuntman who doubles as a bounty hunter I was both excited and trepidatious going into a remake. I need not have worried. This polished film is a little light on plot but is so much fun that it truly doesn’t matter. Directed by Bullet Train’s David Leitch (who also gave us Deadpool 2 and John Wick), The Fall Guys mocks itself and the film industry all while giving us a glorious mix of silliness and epic stunts. It’s not high cinema or thought-inspiring drama; it’s just fun.

Does it have the best plot? No
Do I care at all? No
Was it glorious fun? Yes
Did it have some callbacks to the original TV show? Yes
Do I need to have seen the original TV show? Not at all.
Were Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt just adorable? Yes
Will I see it again? Yes. And yes.

Maybe yes a fourth time.
