The film does feel somewhat overexposed after its theatrical run, and the narrative itself isn’t particularly substantial – however, there’s an undeniable spark between the two leads as their adventures unfold. "Colt" (Ryan Gosling) works as the stunt double for action hero “Tom Ryder” (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), while also casually dating aspiring director "Jody" (Emily Blunt). An incident on set prompts "Colt" to leave the industry, until a phone call from producer "Gail" (Hannah Waddingham) informs him that "Jody" is directing her debut film in Australia and he’s been specifically requested. Naturally, this is unexpected, and upon his arrival—much to the surprise of everyone involved—they reluctantly agree to let him rejoin the action, involving himself once again with overturned vehicles and escapes from fiery wreckage. But where's the star? It turns out that’s what “Gail” really needed him for; he’s disappeared. "Ryder" is prone to disappearing acts – but all "Colt" needs to do is locate their unreliable counterpart and then he can escape this awkward situation and return home. Predictably, his search quickly plunges him into a perilous world of drugs, unicorns, even more car chases, and explosions. Will he be able to find his charge and perhaps rekindle his romance? There’s no real sense of danger throughout any of it, although there is a rather silly plot development at the very end, but that's not really important. This serves as an opportunity for attractive people to have fun while celebrating the profession of the movie stuntman. It's entertaining to watch, with Gosling displaying charm as we’re taken on a journey exposing some of the tricks and illusions routinely employed to convince audiences what they see onscreen is genuine – and that nobody usually gets hurt! Sydney harbour is utilized effectively, though I wouldn't have wanted to be the general manager of the opera house when their film crew arrived; the dialogue is a clever blend of tired phrases, lines from well-known films, and plenty of corniness. ATJ doesn’t appear very often, but when he does, he seems to be satirizing the superficiality and self-importance surrounding celebrity image, and Blunt looks like she's having a good time trying to complete her film despite missing her leading man, the wrong kind of sand on the beach, and an obvious attraction to her former partner. A fitting soundtrack enhances everything; though I doubt I’ll remember much about this in three months, it's a playful look at the people who create movies, and I did enjoy it.
