“Iron” Percy Rivers is a seasoned stuntman who has a reputation as a cool, calm professional. He’s been in the game long enough to know when something doesn’t feel right, and when an amateur film crew wants him to perform a dangerous stunt, his reputation and career are put on the line. During the leadup to the stunt, Percy is questioning himself - is he overthinking things? Is it really that dangerous? Percy wars with himself, whether to be the steely professional, or trust his instincts. Once he makes the decision to walk away from the stunt, he stands on it, outwardly confident but inwardly still rattled. There is a strong undercurrent of uncertainty in his character until the end of the movie, where he’s proven right and finds his peace.
