The Fall Guy 2024 Reviews Nyt. At the book review, we spend all year getting ready for this moment. Directed by david leitch, “the fall guy” is divertingly slick, playful nonsense about a guy who lives to get brutalized again and again — soon after it starts, colt suffers his.
“the fall guy” wants you to think it’s about moviemaking, and while it does immerse viewers in the chaos of a film set, it doesn’t really go into the nuts and bolts of stunt. The fall guy is very much about the people behind the scenes of the movie industry, but it’s almost more of an ode to the era of the movie star, when a performer could hold a viewer over any narrative speedbump.
