HE answer: “Initially tolerable…irritating and certainly pumped up and obviously spittle and a waste of time, but not felonious. But it began to feel more and more bruising. I really hate everything about this kind of bullshit megaplex action film…the kind that’s been par for the course for at least a quarter-century if not longer, perhaps going back to 48 HRS. and Lethal Weapon, except those films are almost Alvin Sargent-level compared to The Fall Guy…I really hate where this genre has gone, the kind of film that directors like David Leitch have made into a form of surface-skimming pornography. For me The Fall Guy felt gauche and bludgeoning and kinda sociopathic…a cartoonishly violent mescaline movie…characters of a shallow or grating or despicable stripe…rude, smirky, japey, goofball, overbearing and exhausting…for the most part repulsive and certainly draining.
