This review was originally published on March 12, 2024.
On May 21,The Fall Guybecame available to rent or purchase on Amazon and iTunes.
Then the high fall goes horribly wrong.
Colts last image of Jody is a blurry one from a stretcher as hes taken away.
Since hes still carrying a torch for Jody, Colt consents.
In that sense,The Fall Guyalmost feels like a dance picture.
In his early stunts, Colt is withdrawn, passive, his body compressed.
As the movie proceeds, Colt becomes more desperate and, finally, more willing.
His movements become broader, the gestures more flamboyant, the stunts more daring.
(I wrote films stunts here.)
But maybe the most surprising thing aboutThe Fall Guyis how genuinely romantic it is.
Were willing to accept any ridiculous situation so long as it reunites them.
