Every year there are various action films created that perform many outrageous stunts, using cars, trains, airplanes, and helicopters, making adventurous challenges off of mountain tops, bridges, and buildings, finally giving the effect that was needed. The life of a stuntman is full of intense adrenaline, thrilling adventures, and life risking performances. This narrative is based on an 80’s tv show that lasted for five years from 1981 till 1986, that starred Lee Majors, Douglas Barr, and Heather Thomas.
Big time famous actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) has a glamorous career with performing in many action flicks every year. Getting the excellent stunt shots for these blockbuster hits goes to seasoned action stuntman Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling). Together they are the greatest action team on the silver screen and their career keeps on booming. The life of a stuntman is not a glamorous life like it is for the actor.
During his career Colt had many friends, like his best friend and stunt coordinator Dan Tucker (Winston Duke) who he spent a lot of time with. Some time discussing their next spectacular stunt or just talking about life in general. He also had many trusted colleagues that he would get excellent gigs from, such as longtime director and producer, Gail Meyer (Hannah Waddingham) and his girlfriend, Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt) current camera women. 
After an accident that put Colt off the scene for a while, a new opportunity requiring his skills comes along in Sydney, Australia. His friend Dan contacts him about a need for an experienced stuntman for the new film, MetalStorm. When he finds out that Jody, his ex-girlfriend, is the new director, and Gail is the producer, he decides to take the job. Once he arrives on the set, things do not go the way he thought and from there the journey begins.
With the intention of putting together an explosive film, Director David Leitch did just that by setting a Guinness World Record for the most cannon rolls performed in a car. Not only did he do that he developed an excellent stunt performance throughout the narrative. Including spectacular special effects, outstanding make-up, amazing costume work, and a fantastic soundtrack, David provided the best possible effects needed to make this flick a hit. 
This impressive exploration through the life of a stuntman, gives you a real look into the dangers they face while making these movies we love. What they sacrifice every time they perform some crazy feat for our entertainment shows us how strong and determined they are at their profession. These heroes of the silver screen have been delivering these amazing events for many years and will continue to do so in the future. This motion picture does deliver us the expectations we all expect. 
Final Comment: I based my grade on these remarkable stunts and special effects, including the wonderful performance by the crew.
