'The Fall Guy' Is Actually a Noir Film

The Big Picture Within the last decade, the first weekend of May has generally been occupied by a new superhero film as an unofficial kickoff for the summer movie season. Due to a series of scheduling changes as a result of the 2023 SAG and WGA strikes, Marvel Studios was unable to slate a new film for the release window; summer 2024 now begins with David Leitch’s action comedy The Fall Guy.

The Fall Guy PG-13 910 Colt Seavers is a stuntman who left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health. He's drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie, which is being directed by his ex, goes missing. Like the protagonists of many classic noirs, Colt is a reluctant hero who had previously sworn off returning to his industry. While being a stunt performer routinely exposes him to significant danger, Colt broke his back whilst performing a dangerous action sequence on the set of Ryder’s latest blockbuster; the critical injury he suffered, as well as Ryder’s lack of compassion, was enough to cast doubt on his future making movies.

Although the problem-solving element makes the action scenes more inventive, The Fall Guy uses its mystery factor to incorporate the inherent romanticism of the noir genre. Noir heroes may put on tough, overtly masculine personas, but they’re often far less impenetrable than they pretend to be; often, their motivations are as simple as love.
