David Leitch's personally inspired stunt-man movie didn't make as much of a splash as expected when it hit theaters in May. But it's a ton of fun, and Gosling has killer chemistry with his female lead, Emily Blunt. All in all, it's a solid choice for a long weekend watch.

"Only Murders in the Building" is back for a new season.
