Product placement, a title that gives away the ending and Ryan Gosling's obsession with cool movie jackets - 'The Fall Guy' is one of the movies I've seen years


The problem with modern movies is they're almost always either very political or very predictable.


The Fall Guy is neither. In a way.


The first thing that stands out, to me at least, is the excessive product placement, which I personally don't care about. A lot of the cars, and there are many cool cars in the film, are GMC or GMC-adjacent, and Ryan Gosling's Tag Heuer Carrera, Gosling has been a brand ambassador for Tag Heuer for a couple of years at this point, is carefully and subtly included in so many shots.

In addition to that, I also appreciate Gosling's character's movie jacket. Gosling clearly has a knack for that sort of thing. Remember the movie 'Drive', in which he was wearing the silver jacket with a scorpion that became cult? That's what I mean.


The movie is enjoyable, and I'm a watch and car fan anyway, so I don't mind seeing nice cars and nice watches on screen.

One last thing, The Fall Guy is a reference to Ryan Gosling's character, a stuntman, but it is an extremely clever title because it gives away what's going to happen during the movie.


You should watch it.
