After playing Ken on Barbiewhich earned him a nomination for best supporting actor at the Oscar and became the highest-grossing film of 2023, Ryan Gosling returns to the big screen and does so in the romantic comedy Profession Danger, inspired by the real life of stuntman and director David Leitch. It should be noted that Leitch started in the industry working precisely as a stuntman. He had to walk on wire platforms and hang in a harness hundreds of feet off the ground to accomplish his stunt work. With all that experience, he sits in the director's chair after having succeeded with productions like the first John Wick, Deadpool 2, Atomic or Bullet Train. Critics point out that Leitch is one of the main figures of current Hollywood action cinema, having also directed Fast & Furious: Hobbs and Shaw.

In the plot, which will hit theaters this April 25, Colt Seavers (Gosling) works for a filmmaker (Blunt) with whom he had had a relationship in the past. Under strange circumstances, a star disappears and he will have to locate it, while he will try to recover the love of her life. Gosling will have action scenes and can be seen exploding into the air, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and thrown from the highest heights. Critics predict that with this film Gosling will consummate his reign in Hollywood.
This was reminded of the meeting that the actor had with the experienced and influential Steven Spielberg during the Golden Globes at the beginning of the year. Gosling said Spielberg approached him and congratulated him, telling him that he had just seen the film and loved it. “So, as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter what happens anymore,” he said excitedly.

The actor has also not hesitated to praise the specialists who worked with him on the film. “It took eight stuntmen to do a single scene. There were times when I thought, 'Should we make a movie or rob a bank?' It was a perfect team. Each one had their own special ability, it was like The Avengers. In fact, probably a lot of them were Avengers if you look at their resumes.”
At his side is Emily Blunt, winner of a Golden Globe for Gideon's Daughter and nominated for an Oscar as best supporting actress for Oppenheimer. In an interview with Total Film, Blunt said that she was inspired by Greta Gerwig, director of Barbie. “With all the warmth and charm of her, I guess there's a little bit of Greta in her. She was a mix of some other people that she had met and had inspired me,” explained the popular actress.
What did the critics say?
Slash Film has highlighted the professional couple that Gosling and Blunt form. They reflect “a chemistry that cannot be faked.” “If you want to see beautiful and charismatic people in a film full of action and fun, this film will be your best option: it is a film built on the hope that the audience will want to see a cast of attractive, charming and interesting actors, exchanging barbs and elegant looks.”
While Peter Debruge in Variety does not hesitate to highlight Gosling's performance, who goes from being a doll in Barbie to “embodying the definitive action figure.”
