OMG, David Leitch’s The Fall Guy is SO SO long, it is painful. Do we blame the editor, who should have recognized the incredibly repetitive scenes, or the director, who insisted on the final cut? The 2 hours and 6 minutes could easily have been encapsulated into a mere 90 minutes of glorious fast-action stunts, meandering romantic riffs and superb, and I do mean superb characterizations. The most outstanding one is created by none other than the enormously talented Hannah Waddington. What you ask, why am I not mentioning the above -the-title stars first?<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Well, let me explain.Let me state that we all can easily see\/experience that the actually multi-talented Ryan Gosling must have done it for the money and the absolute fun of living out lifelong fantasies of the bygone era of swashbuckling heroes who did their own stunts. Ryan had fun but came off as a one-trick pony, and I don’t mean to disparage the pony. That being said, Emily Blunt does leverage her talents and creates a glorious hyper-active high-strung character that you love to love and cross your fingers hoping that she will reign supreme in making her dreams come true.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
