Aaron Taylor-Johnson,Emily Blunt,David Leitch

The undeniable star power of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt elevate an otherwise underwhelming experience.

Whether it be the debate among audiences about practical vs. CG effects, the ways in which prestigious organizations overlook their accomplishments, or various on-set tragedies that have resulted in serious injury and even death, the stunt-performing community has earned amplified attention in recent years, and deservedly so.

Having previously directed movies like Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde, and Bullet Train, in addition to his dozens of contributions to action films as a stunt performer, Leitch knows how to pull off impressive sequences.

Another struggle that the film faces under Leitch's direction is the overall narrative momentum. Drew Pearce and Glen A. Larson's script does present a compelling mystery to unravel, which reflects the spirit of the original TV series, yet many of the times in which the investigation gains momentum, the movie pivots to embrace the romance between Colt and Jody.
