The Fall Guy (2024)
Gosling Elevates 'The Fall Guy' (2024) Amidst Plot Weaknesses
"The Fall Guy (2024) is a film that owes much of its watchability to the presence of Ryan Gosling, whose performance elevates an otherwise weak storyline. While Gosling's portrayal adds depth and charisma, the movie suffers from a disjointed plot that leaves viewers with unanswered questions and moments that feel unnecessary.
One of the film's shortcomings lies in its lack of clarity and connection to the central plot, leading to confusing scenes that detract from the overall narrative coherence. Emily Blunt, despite her talent, is constrained by underdeveloped scripting for her character, Jody, resulting in a relationship dynamic with Gosling's character, Colt, that lacks believability and depth. The imbalance in character development creates a sense of manipulation and blame within their relationship, which undermines the emotional connection the film tries to establish.
Nevertheless, The Fall Guy does have its bright spots, with humorous scenes, witty lines, and commendable performances from supporting actors Aaron Tyler-Johnson as Tom and Hannah Waddingham as Gail, who bring life to their villainous roles.
Ultimately, while Ryan Gosling's performance shines, The Fall Guy struggles to fully engage me as an audience due to its weak storyline and character dynamics.

Invisible on Prime Video: A Captivating and Underrated Gem
When "Invisible" debuted on Prime Video, it stood out as a remarkable series, in my opinion, surpassing many Marvel movies and animations in terms of quality and storytelling. However, despite its potential, Amazon Prime initially underrated the show. It wasn't until the release of season two that the show gained significant traction and a dedicated fanbase, surprising both the platform and viewers alike with its popularity.
The voice overs in "Invisible" are exceptionally well-done, adding depth and immersion to the storyline. The narrative itself is captivating, making each episode a compelling watch that I find myself revisiting multiple times.
Looking ahead, I eagerly anticipate the release of season three and hope that the creators continue to build upon the show's strengths without deviating from its core essence, unless such changes contribute to an even more compelling storyline.
