The combined star power of Gosling and Emily Blunt can’t lift Bullet Train director David Leitch’s action-heavy spectacle into meaningful entertainment
is pitched as a celebration of the work of the stunt crew: the unheralded men and women who take the movie-set risks so that the stars can take the credit. But in fact the film tumbles into the same pitfalls as any other enthusiastically pyrotechnic, action-heavy extravaganza: the sheer volume of stunt sequences means that the skills on show start to lose all meaning. Individually, the shots of a tiny figure dangling from a bucking, spinning, malfunctioning helicopter are impressive.
Ryan Gosling is curiously half-baked as Colt Seavers, a top stunt professional whose career and burgeoning romantic relationship are both derailed by a broken back from a botched fall. Now Jody , the ex-girlfriend he ghosted after the incident, is directing her first movie . And Colt is tempted out of retirement at her express request. Except she didn’t ask for him and she wants nothing more to do with him.
