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
