Truly great, but also delightfully ludicrous

A modern masterpiece of Hollywood excess, a movie that swings for the fences and ends up in the parking lot, yet somehow, that’s exactly what makes it great. We love funny Gosling, we love Emily Blunt… And together they make something bigger than the sum of its parts.

Joe’s Back of the Box

When stuntman Cole Seaver (Ryan Gosling) is injured on a movie, his life falls apart. A chance call from an old producer puts him back on set as he tries to shake the rust off and rekindle his lost love (Emily Blunt,) Cole gets caught up with nefarious villains trying to frame him for murder. Can he take a punch or be another Fall Guy caught in a web of lies?

The REAL Back of the Box

The plot of this movie is not even worth repeating. It is bonkers. But if you’re watching this movie for the plot, then you probably have bigger issues in your life. Just sit back and watch this slightly navel gazing stunt fest pat itself on the back while blowing stuff up. Let’s be honest, we are all here to see the stunts anyway.
