Did you know

This was a really fun movie to watch, and I wish I got to see it in theaters. The visual effects and stunt coordination were out of this world, Gosling and Blunt's performances were brilliant, and the writing of the film made this the perfect summer blockbuster. What they did more than anything else was give a voice to all the stuntmen and stuntwomen who are underappreciated and undervalued in the industry. We see this almost immediately when Colt (Gosling) suffers a near deadly injury and the next thing he knows, he has been easily replaced and is now working valet. This movie also sheds more light on something that we already knew a little bit about which is that being a stunt person is extremely dangerous. Because of this movie, whenever I see an action film moving forward, I am going to be paying closer attention to the action sequences to appreciate the stunt work.
The original theatrical version along with the extended directors cut are both streaming on Peacock. I recommend checking out the director's cut as it features bonus content.
