The Ryan Gosling-Emily Blunt film blends high-quality stunt work with well-crafted comedy.
Stuntman Colt Seavers has quietly retired from show business following an accident. When former flame Jody Moreno , a director, asks him to work for her, he jumps at the chance, hoping it will lead to a lovers’ reunion. Producer Gail Meyer tells him there is a hitch: The star, Tom Ryder , has disappeared. Colt must find the missing actor or Jody’s project will fail. The film is inspired by the Lee Majors television series of the same name .
The stereotypes are sometimes useful, for example, when deployed in lurid, self-skewering tell-alls like Babylon or satirical comedies such as Barton Fink and Tropic Thunder . Colt is a blue-collar man’s man surrounded by soft actors and their coddling handlers. He is a version of Cliff Booth, a similarly masculine stuntman played by Brad Pitt in the drama Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood , the one who demolishes Bruce Lee , whom the film portrays as an actor who has bought into his own myth of martial arts invincibility.
