Review

When casting this movie you have a very hard choice for casting the role of Tom Ryder, the star Gosling does stunts for. You can go A-list, get Ryan Reynolds or something, that's funny! Or you could cast a literal stunt man, also funny and the role is small enough this would work fine and actually go with the movie's plot. Instead they cast Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Also, to have a character say the line "I don't need cuts, I don't need gimmicks" in a movie full of gimmicky shots and quick cuts pisses me off. I hate the editing in this movie.
