| | The Stunt Man review (1980) Peter O'Toole - Qwipster's Movie Reviews |
 | | A mesmerizing thriller in almost every respect, The Stunt Man is a subtly ambiguous, twisty story that treads the line between reality and fantasy so well, it's hard to tell if it's 100% in the realm of realism, or if the majority of what transpires is the work of some character's overactive imagination. |
 | | To reveal any more of the plot would probably ruin The Stunt Man's many surprises, as writer-director Richard Rush (Color of Night, Freebie and the Bean) never plays anything straight, always playing both sides of the fence, fantasy vs. reality, that we wonder if he isn't constantly pulling our leg. |
 | | The Stunt Man is a beguiling work, but completely inspired, with delicious irony and satiric wit throughout. |
