Congratulations. Regardless of how intelligent you may be, you are far smarter than The Fall Guy thinks you are. The latest jacked up, action extravaganza from stunt man turned director David Leitch (his last film, the not-very-good Bullet Train, is still leagues ahead of this movie in terms of imagination and execution), teems with contempt for the audience it is desperate to win over.

THE FALL GUY ★ (1/4 stars)

Written by: Drew Pearce
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Winston Duke, Hannah Waddingham, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Stephanie Hsu
Running time: 126 mins.

For starters, Leitch and screenwriter Drew Pearce (they teamed previously on the inexorable Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw) believe that their audience would prefer to hunt Easter eggs from The Six Million Dollar Man and Miami........
