After an almost career ending accident, A stuntman played by Ryan Gosling must find a missing star of a blockbuster movie directed by the love of his life played by Emily Blunt.

Review

I love how the film explores the lives of stunt performers who perform dangerous stunts but they are not appreciated enough. These unsung heroes put their bodies on the line but their works are often undervalued. This film is a love letter to all stunts performers around the world. The film also has the right mix of action, comedy and romance. Jokes are well-timed with a lot of movies references. I had a few giggles.The chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt is charming.The action sequences are great. We get to Ryan Gosling set on fire, thrown out of the windows, falling from high places and in big car chasing scenes.

While the film's comedic and romantic elements are strong, the central plot involving the search for the missing star, though filled with twists and turns, but follow a predictable and less engaging path.

My Screen Times Score- 7

IMDb - 6.6 Rotten Tomatoes - 66% Genre - Comedy/Action Rating - R Runtime - 1 hour 58 minutes Director - Adil El Arbi, Bilall Fallah Cast - Eddie Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylor Paige, Judge Reinhold, Paul Reiser PLOT Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills after his daughter's life is threatened, and works with old pals John Taggart and Billy Rosewood to uncover a conspiracy. REVIEW After 30 years, Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills. Netflix has revived the franchise, delivering the fourth installment with Eddie Murphy reprising his iconic role. As Axel Foley, Murphy embodies the rule-breaking, street-smart, foul-mouthed, and fast-talking cop from Detroit.

Murphy still has the same charm he exhibited in the original films, though the jokes don't quite hit as hard as they used to. However, there are still a few laughs to be found. The story pic...
