The Star's critic MARIA DUARTE reviews The Fall Guy, Red Herring, Love Lies Bleeding and The Idea of You

The Fall Guy (12A)
Directed by David Leitch
★★★★

 


 
INSPIRED by the 1980s television series The Fall Guy (starring Lee Majors), this is a wonderfully fun and entertaining non-stop action-packed love letter to the unsung heroes of the film industry — the stunt performers who make action films and action stars look great.

Directed by former stuntman turned film-maker David Leitch (Bullet Train) this is a hilarious, high-octane rollercoaster-ride full of insane stunts, car chases and fight sequences including a world record-breaking number of cannon rolls in a car (eight-and-a-half actually).  

Red Herring (12A)
Directed by Kit Vincent
★★★★


Love Lies Bleeding (15)
Directed by Rose Glass
★★★★


The Idea of You (15)
Directed by Michael Showalter
★★★★
