Movie Review – The Fall Guy
—
Going in I had higher than normal expectations based on the cast, Emily Blunt, Ryan Gosling, et al., and Director David Leitch’s previous successes with action/humor movies such as Bullet Train, and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.

Movie Review – Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is a hefty title for a lightweight spy caper that’s a pure popcorn experience you’ll forget about by the next day.
