How would you rank David Leitch's filmography? Let me know!
Atomic Blonde, because it's a mighty piece of character writing and worldbuilding, and has the best action of his career. I regrettably have to admit his filmmaking and choreography have never again been so aligned and tastefully grown within the limits of the budget. Even in this film, the editing and direction are way choppier. This led me to think they were doing a serviceable job for the biggest scenes they could pull off and not tighter scenes within smaller constraints. Next is Deadpool 2, which has action and direction nowhere near as stylish as Atomic Blonde, but I'll tell you it's at least the most budget clearly on screen of his more flashy direction fare. The screenplay is also underrated, with something to be done for every character and an actual emotional core, albeit that the comedy is pretty derivative of the first Deadpool. Next is Fall Guy, which is a 7/10 story. Chemistry, parody, and comedy are all executed wonderfully. The split screen scene working without getting under my skin is the work of professionals. Shout out Drew Pearce for his best film yet. Half a good villain twist (I understand that I am judging with the added lens that I know how movies work).
Everything else is Gar-bah-hey.
If you count John Wick 1, it's around equal tier of Atomic Blonde.
All ass.
Absolutely stunt actors deserve an Oscar category.
When I first heard about "The Fall Guy", I thought it was an adaptation of the "Fall Guys" video game 😂
Also, jumpscare at 5:54
Haha! In 2024, I bet people are more familiar with the game than the '80s TV show.
Great idea for a reboot, I would watch it if casted literally any other actors, ffs Ryan Gosling & Emily Blunt??? ugh
also, after watching your review, hard pass
