I rather enjoyed this one overall. It's a nice, slick piece of light-hearted old school action filmmaking. Ryan Gosling crushes the titular role and is so fun to watch here, I have to assume it was written specifically with him in mind. The action scenes are a blast with excellent direction and practical stuntwork on full display, there are plenty of funny moments, the meta humor about movies works nicely and isn't too overdone, and there's some genuine heart.
Admittedly, rom-coms are a tough sell for me, therefore I wasn't totally buying the chemistry between Gosling and Emily Blunt at first, although it did eventually improve for me. I also think the pacing is a bit uneven, there are a few scenes/gags that overstay their welcome, this could've used a bit more trimming. Also, the climax is lots of fun for sure, but the reveal leading up to it feels really contrived, it's kind of jarring for a movie as clever as this to have such a standard twist villain reveal. All in all, I think this is a solid 2-hour movie that could've been a great 90-100 minute movie. 7.5/10

Knowing Universal and how this is performing, guess it will be on VOD before the month is over.
