My Review;

I have not walked out of a movie with the feeling of satisfaction in a few years. THE FALL GUY hits all the right notes in comedy, suspense and dramatic effect. And then sends the viewer home singing KISSI Was Made For Loving You for days. 

It is a rare thing that I go to see a movie in the theaters twice in a row. Much less on opening week. THE FALL GUY is a film that brings to light the fact that stuntmen (and women!) do not get credit for their hard work. Between the fun action and rekindling romance, the plot showcases the skills and amazing people who do the crazy maneuvers others are not brave enough or willing to do.

Ryan Gosling really brought his character to life. I've never seen the original series, but looked it up after seeing the film. I'll probably watch that as well.

I would totally go see it again, if given the opportunity. Overall, 10/10; highly recommend.
