Our criticism

Originally broadcast between 1981 and 1986 on ABC aux États-Unis (Antenna 2 in France). L’Homme qui tombe à pic This is a program for all generations and a symbolic series of the Reagan years in the context MacGyver and etc. Magnum.

This cult show is now a resurrection in the cinema, presented by a duo of fashionable actors (Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt) and a mise en scène by David Leitch. Ancient stuntmanMatrix, 300) becomes a implementer (John Wick, Deadpool 2, high-speed train) and profit from work to remake letters of nobility into the profession of Antana.

Autumn guy This is also a plongee in the backstage of blockbusters and a real love letter to the work of a stuntman, a play on the femininity of the fin. The portrait will have to reveal to cinephiles and those curious about the heart of the divertissement of Pur Jus and Bien Charger.

A car, if this cocktail is est généreux à bien des égards, Autumn guy error in dosage during preparation. A romantic comedy Tour à Tour, parody, action and political thriller, the long film gets lost in its many events, its parts being eroded along the way.

This balance problem is too related to the brown letter. The result: spectacular but most tedious scenes, scenes of comic coupes in full force and a dramatic return that comes late. After all, the film “serious”, son of the second degree, multiplies the number of blades and rit de ses propres blagues, ce qui aura de quoi épuiser les spectateurs les plus bienveillants.

Ryan Gosling is a difficult man who dreams and sees himself as beautiful, burying a lot of people and trading killer lines with Emily Blunt, but still regrets that the film prenne un peu trope les pieds dans ses ambitions pour tout à fait convaincre.

Autumn guy Disassemble the cinema on May 1, 2024.
