Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, chaz's journal, great movies, contributors, the gray man.

Now streaming on:

Ryan Gosling may not have played a superhero (yet) but he gets closer than ever before in the mega-budget Netflix production “The Gray Man,” the streaming service's summer blockbuster from the directors of “ Avengers: Endgame ,” Anthony and Joe Russo . It’s understandable why Gosling would sign up and Netflix would open not just their wallet but an entire bank vault for the Russos to adapt the book by Mark Greaney , with an eye to starting a new mega-franchise of their own. However, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that Netflix has too little creative oversight over projects like these, just letting creators run off with their money and not really caring about what they deliver. After all, it fits the algorithm, right? People will watch “The Gray Man” by the millions. They just won’t be able to name a memorable thing about it a few days later. If this is the start of a franchise, and it almost certainly is, let’s hope “The Gray Man” finds a little more definition in future installments.

The star of “ La La Land ” and “ Drive ” plays a spy named Sierra Six (“007 was taken”), who was recruited out of prison by a handler named Donald Fitzroy ( Billy Bob Thornton ). After that very brief set-up, “The Gray Man” hits the ground running with a mission gone very awry when Six is tasked by a new boss named Denny Carmichael ( Regé-Jean Page ) with taking out a target that turns out to be a fellow secret agent. The dying man tells Six that Denny is a bad guy before handing him the intel to prove it. Immediately, our stoic hero is on the run, before he’s really had any time to develop a personality as a movie character. That kind of blank protagonist is fine for taut, precise action films like those in the “ John Wick ” franchise, but this isn’t nearly that tight of a production. This movie needed an Ethan Hunt, someone defined by more than just the clichés that he won’t shoot a kid and he has a dark past. (Seriously, it would be tough to name five characteristics of this hero that we’re supposed to follow for two hours. Never a good sign.)

As Six goes on the run, Carmichael calls in Lloyd Hansen ( Chris Evans ), a former CIA black ops mercenary who now works in the private sector where there are even fewer rules about things like torture and dumb mustaches. Hansen will do whatever it takes to get Six, including kidnapping Fitzroy’s daughter Claire ( Julia Butters ) to get his attention. Of course, Six has a connection with Claire having watched over her a few years ago. He’s the spy who wants kids to live, which separates him from a sociopath like Hansen. Meanwhile, another spy named Dani Miranda ( Ana de Armas ) joins Six on his quest for freedom. and she is given even less character definition than her male counterparts, believe it or not.

And that’s really it for two hours. Good guy, bad guy, woman in the middle, kid in jeopardy, things go boom. Some of the action sequences, especially an insane one in a town square, can be pretty effective, but most of the film is shot at such a bizarrely low light that it dulls even the incredible screen presence of the undeniably charismatic Gosling, Evans, and de Armas. Seriously, whoever thought the right lighting for most of a globe-trotting action flick was the low light palette of “Ozark” deserves a cinematic jail sentence. “The Gray Man” should be joyously over-the-top if it wants to be a new Fast & Furious or Bourne franchise but with the exception of a wisecracking Evans, everything here feels so programmatically dull. It’s a silly piece of popcorn entertainment that too often forgets that this kind of venture needs to be fun .

Part of the problem is that Evans is never set up as an interesting threat. In fact, he seems kind of horrible at his job—a colleague says that an asset removal gone horribly, a headline-making wrong, will be taught in schools as to what not to do. This isn’t a battle of wills so much as a good spy vs. a crazy spy. There’s something underdeveloped in the idea that Gosling is the old-fashioned spy and Evans is the brute force modern maniac whose strategy seems to just be to blow up as much as possible, but the script by Joe Russo, Christopher Markus , and Stephen McFeely keeps trying to sell us on Hansen being a terrifying genius and there’s really no evidence of the latter part.

Like so much original entertainment in the streaming world, “The Gray Man” seems scared to take an actual risk. There have been many pieces written about the algorithms and templates that feel like they’re driving creative decisions more than actual human beings. When will a company like Netflix throw $200 million at a movie and emerge with a “John Wick,” “ Mission: Impossible ,” “ Mad Max: Fury Road ,” or even a “ Fast Five ”? It might take an actual superhero for something like that to happen.

‘The Gray Man’ Review: Guy vs. Guy

Ryan Gosling plays a blasé government operative opposite Chris Evans’s showy psychopath in this globe-trotting spy action movie.

• Share full article

By Amy Nicholson

The frenetic caper “The Gray Man,” from the directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, boasts more vibrant color than the typical globe-trotting shoot-em-up about the C.I.A., a distinctly drab organization. The Russos’ lead, an agent known as Six (Ryan Gosling), wears a snazzy red suit with matching fingernail polish to his first onscreen assassination. Six works for his freedom, not his 401(k): He is a convicted murderer who was plucked from prison by a government suit (played by Billy Bob Thornton) and placed in a secret kill squadron. He seems to be OK with the deal, despite showing a light layer of fatigue that Gosling wears like a rain poncho.

The Russos’ more-is-more filmmaking ethos leaves little room for Gosling to explore Six’s complexities. Six’s opening hit goes askew, shattering his job security. And as this extravagant adventure sprints across 10 countries, including Thailand and Azerbaijan, Six remains unflappably blasé. “I get it, you’re glib,” Thornton’s character says to him. So is every other person in the movie, a funny, if indistinguishable, blitz of quipping colleagues, snarky villains (including the main bad guy, a heavy played by Chris Evans) and a hardened cancer patient (Alfre Woodard) who glowers, “If you say anything even remotely sympathetic, I will shoot you.”

The film’s writers — Joe Russo along with Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, frequent collaborators on the brothers’ films — have created a screenplay that is an assault of amusement; a barrage of bullets and one-liners. The razzle-dazzle does quite a bit to invigorate what is at its core a routine tale. (It comes as no shock that the real enemy is, as ever, the C.I.A. itself, in a story that contains no fewer than three all-too-convenient explosions.) Yet the frenzy is also distracting to the brink of self-sabotage. An early fight scene is jazzed with so many spliced-in shots of smoke and fireworks that one worries the Russos are insecure about Gosling’s ability to execute his stunts. Thankfully, the film grows in confidence and inventiveness. In later sequences, Six doggedly rescues himself from a tumbling plane, a trap door and a set of handcuffs.

The Gray Man First Reviews: Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans Elevate an Action-Heavy Blockbuster

Critics are split on the netflix spy thriller, which looks and feels expensive and benefits from the charms of its big-name leads, but feels like a bit less than the sum of its parts..

TAGGED AS: Action , Netflix , streaming

Netflix’s latest action movie, The Gray Man , is also the biggest ever to arrive on the streaming service. With a reported budget of $200 million, the spy flick aims to compete with the studios’ summer blockbusters, and according to the first reviews of the movie, it does an outstanding job of it. Courtesy of some thrilling stunts directed by Avengers: Endgame helmers Joe and Anthony Russo and the charisma and chemistry of stars Ryan Gosling , Chris Evans , and Ana de Armas , The Gray Man might even be the perfect start to a popular new action franchise.

Here’s what critics are saying about The Gray Man :

Has Netflix scored a solid blockbuster?

The Russos have unleashed what may stand as the best pure action movie of 2022. – Don Shanahan, Every Movie Has a Lesson

The action is some of the best you’re likely to see this year – and yes, that includes Top Gun: Maverick . – Edward Douglas, The Weekend Warrior

Does it look expensive?

The Gray Man is Netflix’s most expensive movie ever, and it shows. – Hoai-Tran Bui, Slashfilm

Holy potatoes, did they put every dollar of it into a substantial extravaganza of mayhem… lavish enough to compete with the Jason Bourne films and the current Mission: Impossible and Fast and Furious juggernauts. – Don Shanahan, Every Movie Has a Lesson

It’s a Bond-level summer blockbuster. – Peter Debruge, Variety

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo have made a tentpole blockbuster with action and carnage on the scale of one of their Marvel movies. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

Once the scale becomes such that computers need to step in and provide the special effects, this very expensive movie begins to look very cheap… Netflix did not get their money’s worth out of their VFX. – Matt Singer, ScreenCrush

How does it compare to other Netflix movies?

The Gray Man feels like a step above the streamer’s past action movies, offering more exciting fight sequences, more uproarious humor, and a more completely entertaining movie experience. – Molly Freeman, Screen Rant

This [might not be] Netflix’s smartest action film, but it’s definitely one of the most fun. – Richard Trenholm, CNET

The cinematography is better than average for a Netflix movie, backing off the usual orange and teal. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

This is the most exciting original action property Netflix has delivered since Bright . – Peter Debruge, Variety

It feels a step up from other Netflix blockbusters like Red Notice . – James Mottram, South China Morning Post

For a Netflix action picture with huge stars, The Gray Man is better, certainly, than Red Notice , but not as good as Extraction . – Jordan Hoffman, TV Guide

What about other big action movies in general?

The Gray Man is up there with the stylized likes of Atomic Blonde and might give John Wick a run for his money. – Richard Trenholm, CNET

It twists all of its Bourne and Bond influences into something quite different but equally exceptional. – Edward Douglas, The Weekend Warrior

None of The Gray Man’ s still-Bourne thrills are executed with the precise elegance of John Wick , the winking doggery of James Bond or the joyful craftsmanship of Mission: Impossible . – Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine

It feels closer in tone and spirit to Michael Bay’s gonzo ’90s action movies, where trivial details like logic and coherence took a backseat to adrenalized spectacle. – Matt Singer, ScreenCrush

So is the action good?

The Gray Man has some of the most bonkers action sequences I’ve seen, from a stunning hand-to-hand combat scene in a fireworks staging area to a daring escape from a crashing plane and a high-speed pursuit atop a runaway metro car in the middle of Prague. – Joey Morona, Cleveland Plain Dealer

The car chases are full of tactile, nail-biting stunts, the action scenes explosive, and the Russo brothers are the latest filmmakers to try their hand at replicating the heights of that Dark Knight Hong Kong fight scene. – Hoai-Tran Bui, Slashfilm

There’s one spectacular set piece set within a plaza in Prague that then goes onto a train, and it’s as good as anything from last year’s Shang-Chi , at least in terms of the action. – Edward Douglas, The Weekend Warrior

The action is non-stop if a little numbing in the way hundreds of people get mowed down without a drop of blood. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

A ridiculous freefall sequence looks, even when not compared to its exhilarating peer in Mission: Impossible—Fallout , like Spirit Airlines flushed a GoPro. – Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine

How is the Gosling vs. Evans match-up?

Each time Gosling and Evans face-off, the only word for it is delightful. Their hand-to-hand battles are clever and frenetic. – Sherin Nicole, idobi.com

When Gosling and Evans go toe-to-toe — either with gibes or fists — they’re the most exhilarating scenes in The Gray Man . – Molly Freeman, Screen Rant

Gosling and Evans put in two brilliantly yin/yang performances. – Linda Marric, The Jewish Chronicle

You can’t help but get caught up in the sensation of seeing these two Hollywood stars duke it out in a battle of wills. – Matt Neglia, Next Best Picture

Does Ryan Gosling have the right action chops?

Gosling’s never done a major action movie on this level… He’s built his body up to almost Schwarzenegger level here and excels at all the mayhem. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

Gosling, meanwhile, brings just the right amount of dry humor to the role; he hasn’t been this laid-back since playing the wheelman in Drive . – James Mottram, South China Morning Post

Gosling might be wasted for all his talents, but he’s at least always magnetic to watch even if he seems like he’s just on the cusp of having fun. – Hoai-Tran Bui, Slashfilm

As dull as this is, Gosling excels at it… [He] is the best part of a film that doesn’t seem to know how lucky it is to have him. – Jacob Oller, Paste Magazine

Is Chris Evans a good villain?

Evans seems to channel his character in Knives Out , taking glee in how evil he is – he’s basically anti-Captain America. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

Chris Evans was always meant to be a character actor because he’s just so great in the role of a know-it-all sociopath who doesn’t put up with failure from those he hires. – Edward Douglas, The Weekend Warrior

Evans is a delight to see cut loose, acting comically unhinged and still retaining an intimidating presence. – Courtney Howard, Fresh Fiction

Evans’s performance is, alas, the only notable thing in this preposterous, globe-trotting movie. – Jordan Hoffman, TV Guide

How is Ana de Armas?

De Armas brings some depth to [her character]… and certainly proves her action chops after being underused in No Time to Die . – Molly Freeman, Screen Rant

Her attitude and style are impressive. She seems born to lead action movies and might be the next big female action star. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

De Armas needs to star in more of everything, she refuses to be damselled, she does the saving and she excels at it. – Sherin Nicole, idobi.com

De Armas is given [a] somewhat thankless role… but boy, is she fun to watch. – Hoai-Tran Bui, Slashfilm

The script doesn’t even give her much of a personality apart from obligatory super-badassness… This is a waste of the white-hot star of the moment. – Richard Trenholm, CNET

Are there any other standouts in the cast?

Dhanush is a standout in The Gray Man … [His] action scenes are some of the best in the movie. – Molly Freeman, Screen Rant

The movie is almost stolen by Tamil star Dhanush, who waltzes in like he’s the lead in his action movie and seems like a no-brainer to get a spin-off. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

Julia Butters, who plays Claire Fitzroy, is a star on the rise. – Danielle Solzman, Solzy at the Movies

How is the writing?

Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely do a great job balancing emotional undertones along with the big action set pieces. – Courtney Howard, Fresh Fiction

Joe Russo along with his Marvel screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have crafted an intriguing, even playful battle of wits between the charming CIA assassin with a heart and his unhinged adversary. – Joey Morona, Cleveland Plain Dealer

It has something thematically to say about trust and family and succeeds on all counts, not least because of a very smart script with a lot of pithy dialogue for Gosling and Evans in particular. – Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

The world-building is a bit exhausting, as it takes the focus away from Gosling’s Gentry too often. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

The screenplay contains several silly moments with the kind of lines that a fifth grader could’ve come up with. – Matt Neglia, Next Best Picture

Should we try to see this in theaters?

It’s definitely recommended to watch The Gray Man on the biggest screen possible. – Molly Freeman, Screen Rant

Netflix won’t like me for saying this, but see it in a theater if you can. – Joey Morona, Cleveland Plain Dealer

It was especially fun to see it in a packed theater, where the crowd clearly ate it up… [but] it is edge-of-your-seat action, even if that means edge of your own couch. – Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood Daily

It definitely feels like a movie made for 4K TVs rather than theaters. – Chris Bumbray, JoBlo’s Movie Network

It’s a movie that’s made to be half-watched on Netflix while scrolling on your phone. – Hoai-Tran Bui, Slashfilm

Will we want a sequel?

Based on the initial outing, a Gray Man franchise seems like a smart bet. – Joey Morona, Cleveland Plain Dealer

If sequels are coming, as has been hinted, we’re ready for the next 49 shades of Gray. – John Nugent, Empire Magazine

There is some unfinished business to attend to once the credits roll, which will most likely lead to a sequel. Is it warranted? Probably not. – Matt Neglia, Next Best Picture

The Gray Man opens in select theaters on July 15, 2022 and streams on Netflix on July 22, 2022.

'The Gray Man' Review: Gosling and Evans Face Off in Best Netflix Action Movie Yet

Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas go head to head in an explosive thriller from the Russo brothers that's already confirmed a sequel and spinoff.

Ryan Gosling switches to action mode in Netflix shoot-'em-up The Gray Man.

That's more like it. Following a string of wildly popular but not very good action movies (Red Notice, Extraction), Netflix delivers with The Gray Man, streaming now. This rip-roaring and star-powered spy romp from the Russo brothers throws all the money at the screen as Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans go head to head.

Having played in some theaters and streaming on Netflix since Friday, July 22, The Gray Man has already been successful enough for Netflix to confirm a sequel (with Gosling returning) and spinoff (from the writers of Deadpool).

The Gray Man opens with Gosling in prison two decades ago, wisecracking at Billy Bob Thornton's unflappable CIA spook. "We get it, you're glib," Thornton responds, but as Gosling contemplates a life of murder for the government, his eyes soften mournfully. And when we catch up to Gosling in the modern day, now a slick killing machine known only as Sierra 6, he's a jaded shell only good for dispatching nameless bad actors who got on the wrong side of Uncle Sam. Except he finds himself at odds with his calculating boss after he refuses to endanger a child.  

Woah woah woah. Seriously? In this, the year 2022, we're still making movies about assassins who go rogue because they won't kill a kid?

OK, fine. So anyway, Gosling comes into conflict with Chris Evans' unhinged mercenary as they're both sent to retrieve a vital USB drive, and --

Hang on, hang on. No. I'm not having it. A USB drive? After 60 years of James Bond on screen , after six (and counting) Mission: Impossible movies, a spy movie hinges on a frickin' thumb drive!

So yeah. On paper, The Gray Man has all the elements of a formulaic spy genre (and I do mean all the elements -- there's about four movies' worth of stuff going on). Thumb drives. A kidnapped niece. Bureaucrats who are the real villains. Wet teams striding across airfields in body armor. Action scenes cutting to analysts panicking in front of walls of monitors. Tense phone calls in skyscrapers. Rooftop helipads and secure lines and guys making the bullets fall out of a gun before the other guy can shoot him. 

But as yet another city name blares across the screen in massive letters, you start to wonder if the filmmakers are mocking the conventions of the spy genre. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo, the men behind several of Marvel's Captain America and Avengers movies, are very self-aware about the type of flick they're making. The quippy banter and sharp action are heightened and stylized, and just a ton of fun. We get it, they're glib. 

That's what sets The Gray Man apart from formulaic plods like Extraction or Amazon's turgid Without Remorse . From the opening scene, in which Gosling goes into battle in a crisp scarlet suit twirling a water pistol, to his silent silhouetted dispatching of a platoon of bodyguards with whatever cutlery comes to hand, the flick has swagger to burn. Don't be fooled by the title: There's nothing gray about the lush cinematography, kinetic camerawork and playful music. The Gray Man is up there with the stylized likes of Atomic Blonde, and might give John Wick a run for his money.

A big part of the film's success is the star wattage on display, Gosling and Evans (and super-charismatic guest star Dhanush) handling the action heroics and quippy banter with equal assuredness. Gosling plays it relatively straight, although Sierra 6's real name is Courtland Gentry, which means he has not one but two improbably cool action hero names. Evans hams it up for the both of them as a suavely unhinged torturer with a wardrobe of natty knitted polo shirts, like James Bond 's maladjusted little brother. His character, by the way, is called Lloyd Hanson, which is less cool than Sierra 6 but sticks in your mind because someone says it literally every 20 seconds.

I mention the names because Ana de Armas is also in this film, but I'm darned if I could tell you what her character's called. While the main guys have backstory (even if Evans' is just "went to Harvard"), her character doesn't have any motivating story that I can recall. The script doesn't even give her much of a personality apart from obligatory super-badassness, and being grumpy when guys yell at her. At least de Armas' appearance in Bond film No Time to Die was essentially a cameo, but this is a waste of the white-hot star of the moment.

The highlight of Ana de Armas' role is probably this suit.

This being an action flick, the many international stopovers lead to violence. It's all fun and games, obviously, all stylishly shot shootouts and rollicking punch-ups. But then there's a huge showdown in the streets of a European city. High-velocity rounds destroy homes. High-caliber death machines sweep crowded public squares. You might not see it, but regular normal people going about their everyday lives clearly get killed in horrible ways. In the wake of public shootings in the US, Denmark and Norway (and that's just this year) this callous ultraviolence hits different.

Maybe, just maybe, that's the point. After this apocalyptic battle, the film doesn't merrily exfil to the next exotic location. Instead, it lingers in a hospital, surrounded by the wounded and dying. Admittedly, this is partly a setup for the next fight. But The Gray Man at least shows a glimmer of thought about the savagery unfolding on screen, about the silver-screen depiction of violence as redemptive and protective, about the pointlessness of it all. It isn't exactly Drive or Only God Forgives, Gosling's 2011 and 2013 arthouse subversions (with director Nicolas Winding Refn) of the car chase and crime genres. But there's definitely a layer of subversive nuance going on here. It's telling that in this film's world of espionage, we never see any terrorists or doomsday weapons. The only threat to ordinary folk like you and me is the internal squabbling of various grubby sociopaths jockeying for power no matter who gets caught in the crossfire.

Ultimately, The Gray Man encourages us to enjoy the hell out of a stylish shoot-'em-up where good-looking people go bang-bang, while still nudging us to remember it's a fantasy. Maybe I'm squinting too hard to suggest this is Netflix's smartest action film, but it's definitely one of the most fun.

The Gray Man Reviews

While the adrenaline-filled film boasts an all-star cast, top-notch camera-work and impressive stunt work, it lacks in character development and story giving us concepts we’ve seen over and over.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 16, 2024

For myself, star performances and expensive grand sets are two non-negotiable ingredients of a blockbuster. The Russo brothers’ newest film has both. (And maybe it’s just a two-ingredient genre film, but that’s perfectly fine with me).

Full Review | Jul 16, 2024

This movie will more than likely just be a random grey blank spot in your memory within a few days.

Full Review | Original Score: 5.5/10 | Jul 12, 2024

It's like somebody rabbit-punching your brain for the best part of two hours, and there's a certain enjoyability in that.

Full Review | Feb 7, 2024

The Russo brothers’ supposed answer to the Bond franchise is a product of popcorn entertainment that is defined by giving the audience what they want and that’s just it.

Full Review | Nov 2, 2023

Netflix’s The Gray Man is its Most Expensive and Emptiest Star Vehicle

In short, the movie looks like someone painted over each frame of the film with urine. The whole thing has this sickly yellow tint to it that's even more off-putting than the usual teal-and-orange colour grading of most big-budget blockbusters.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 29, 2023

Given Netflix’s expenditures and the star pedigree on screen, audiences deserve — and should expect — more.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 9, 2023

If not an all-timer within a tried-and-tested genre, The Gray Man is a strong showcase for its leads, their screen presence and ability to carry the source material which can be overloading with exposition on occasion.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2023

A flat out AWESOME! An action packed spy thrill ride that mixes the best of Winter Soldier, Fast/Furious, & John Wick. Ryan Gosling is that ACTION HERO…

Full Review | Jul 25, 2023

The Gray Man is just expensive, glamour-less, and unsharp.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Jul 25, 2023

If you've seen the trailer, you've basically seen the film; it is an underwhelming affair that sounds great on paper, but isn't executed well enough to be memorable.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 24, 2023

The Gray Man is a wannabe John Wick lost in a tonally incohesive script. You’ve seen this movie before you even press play.

Full Review | Jul 24, 2023

The Russo Brothers return with a star-studded action thriller in Netflix’s The Gray Man that’s great where the heart is concerned but nothing special overall.

Full Review | Jul 23, 2023

The Gray Man is a sad affair. As a fan of Ryan Gosling, as a fan of Ana De Armas, as a fan of Dhanush, as a fan of action cinema, this is sad.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 20, 2023

We begin a 129 min journey jam-packed with quippy retorts, gratuitous violence and a hail of bullets that leap you chuckling and wiping tears of laughter from your eyes. That being said, The Gray Man is entirely devoid of substance.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 20, 2023

Unfortunately this did not flow for me. Gosling on paper seemed to be a very interesting character, but instead his character don't have real progression or likability. Then the action just wasn't up to par with what we've seen this amazing directors do

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 26, 2022

Despite its fast-paced rhythm and the caliber of the talent in front and behind the camera, it ends up being an unimaginative and formulaic spy flick. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 5, 2022

What I also loved about this movie was the lack of an unneeded romantic subplot, and the fact that all the females in the cast weren’t brainless skirts simply there to fix the men or let them save their life.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Sep 9, 2022

If you can remember much about it 15 minutes after watching, you'll have a stronger impression than it made on me.

The Gray Man Review

15 Jul 2022

The Gray Man

After the misshapen but fascinating left-turn of their last film, Cherry , Joe and Anthony Russo are back with a bang — several, in fact, all loud and expensive-looking. The directing brothers responsible for the remarkable one-two punch of Infinity War and Endgame return to blockbuster cinema in fine fettle with this assured, energetic, consistently compelling caper.

It has all the trappings of a modern espionage action-thriller: there is an air-mile-heavy international itinerary, a USB drive MacGuffin, a web of shady conspiracies that goes all the way to the top — and at the centre of it all, a gun-for-hire struggling with what it means to be a good man. Based on the novels by Mark Greaney, the temptation to make Bourne or Bond comparisons are all there, but the Russos’ regular screenwriters, Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, are self-aware enough to do it for you. Their script, which leans on the genre’s tropes without escaping them, gently leavens any overt seriousness with the occasional grenade of glibness.

Key to that balancing of tones are the film’s opposing A-list leads, Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. Very much two sides of the same incredibly handsome coin, their respective allegiances are handily signposted by facial hair (to wit: beard = goodie; moustache = baddie). Both are electrically watchable — Evans, in particular, gleefully pisses on Captain America’s legacy to portray the kind of villain that even Thanos would consider a bit rude. His Lloyd is really just a weapons-grade asshole, who trades in, by his own admission, “bad ethics and zero impulse control”. He’s a ton of fun to watch.

Gosling is still effortlessly good, by turns winkingly charming and brutally convincing.

Gosling is more reserved by comparison — it’s another taciturn role where he uses his preternatural looks as a deadpan shield — but he’s still effortlessly good, by turns winkingly charming and brutally convincing, sprinkling pathos and humanity into his hardened CIA off-books killer. As far as first-time action-blockbuster roles go, Gosling looks like he’s been dodging fireballs for years.

Which is handy, because he has to do a lot of that. There are nine giant action sequences scattered throughout the running time, featuring explosive fireworks (in the opening fight, literally so), across planes, trams and automobiles. While you might feel the CGI in some moments, the Russos’ action here is more Winter Soldier than Infinity War — lots of ground-level, stylishly shot, muscular hand-to-hand combat.

There’s so much, in fact, that it’s really an action film first, spy thriller second. Anyone expecting a John le Carré potboiler should look elsewhere. There’s not much room for character work outside of those lead two, either — Ana de Armas isn’t given the opportunity to steal scenes in the way she did in No Time To Die . But while it might sometimes feel like relatively superficial entertainment, it is undeniably damned entertaining, and confidently executed. If sequels are coming, as has been hinted, we’re ready for the next 49 shades of Gray.

Positive Messages

Very violent, but courage and perseverance are shown as key elements to staying true to yourself and helping others in need. Integrity is presented as a positive defining attribute of a person, even those who might be unsavory.

Positive Role Models

Six is a killer, but he has an empathetic background and seeks to save those in need, showing integrity. Six also perseveres to save a young girl and shows courage even when his life is on the line.

Diverse Representations

Characters of color (played by Alfre Woodard, Regé-Jean Page, Jessica Henwick, Ana de Armas, and Danush) have influential but not particularly substantial roles. Portrayal of women leaves something to be desired. Dani, Suzanne, and Margaret come across as strong women on the surface, but Dani and Margaret have relatively inconsequential roles, and Margaret sacrifices herself for a male character. Suzanne is portrayed as incompetent at her job and is often undermined and disrespected by her male peers.

The Russo Brothers Continue Delivering Schlock Since Avengers

At the brink of pg-13, what's the story.

THE GRAY MAN tells a cat-and-mouse story involving Six ( Ryan Gosling ), a man hired to become a secret agent for the U.S. government who's later thought to be a liability. In order to neutralize him, Denny Carmichael ( Regé-Jean Page ), the leader of a secretive organization within the CIA, hires rogue contract killer Lloyd Hansen ( Chris Evans ) to take Six out, putting Six's friend and mentor Fitzroy ( Billy Bob Thornton ) and sickly niece Claire (Julia Butters) at risk.

Is It Any Good?

The Gray Man is more a series of great parts than an enthralling whole. It features solid performances by Gosling and Thornton, but the true gem of the movie is Evans, who transforms from Marvel's wholesome Captain America into a sadistic, gleeful, disturbingly charismatic villain. His performance will make you want to see him cast as villains more often, since his good guy looks and charm provide another layer of sinister to evil characters.

The film is a bit of a letdown in terms of racial and gender diversity. On paper, The Gray Man has both characters of color and strong women in potentially substantial roles. But while Page and Alfre Woodard are the standouts in this regard, that has more to do with their personal charisma than with what's written on the page. And even though Ana de Armas plays an agent in the field like Six, her character, Dani, is less defined than his -- and quite bland. Similarly, Jessica Henwick doesn't have much to work with as Suzanne, a CIA agent working under Denny who's constantly belittled by both him and Lloyd. Overall, The Gray Man is a standard-issue spy film that goes in circles with regard to characters' motivations. If you like seeing cars crash and people fight, then this film is for you (as long as you can hang in there for its two-hour-plus run time), but those looking for an engaging story are more likely to find satisfaction in individual performances.

The Gray Man: Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling, Dhanush Fight for Your Attention

Director : Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Writer : Joe Russo, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely Cast : Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Dhanush, Ana De Armas, Billy Bob Thornton, Regé-Jean Page

The centerpiece of The Gray Man is an action sequence that lasts roughly nine minutes. The Gray Man, also known as Courtland Gentry, also known as Sierra Six, is handcuffed to a stone bench in Prague. Various crews of killers, cops and even a SWAT team have arrived. Bullets, bombs, assault weapons are firing away. The action, which eventually moves to a running city tram is elaborate, exquisitely-staged and incredibly, even has a touch of comedy ladled in. It's peak Russo Brothers , the directors who turned super-sized popcorn entertainment into a fine art with two Captain America movies and Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame . According to media reports, The Gray Man cost $200 million and is Netflix's most expensive movie to date. A lot of that money went into choreographing mayhem. 

The Gray Man , based on a 2009 novel by Mark Greaney, isn't startlingly original. Like in the Jason Bourne franchise, here too we have a world-class assassin with contentious connections to the CIA. Like in James Bond movies, the plot globe-trots — the film starts in Bangkok, but passes through Baku, Monaco, Vienna, Turkey before eventually climaxing in Croatia. Like many successful onscreen operatives, Gray Man combines incredibly sophisticated combat skills with keen intelligence and despite the brutal occupation, a strong sense of morality. This is not a man who will let a child die. He's a killer with an abiding sense of honour.  

The Russo Brothers and their longtime writing partners, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, take these movie spy traditions and ramp up the adrenalin to the power of 11. The Gray Man has nine set-piece action sequences — or at least that's what Joe Russo has said in interviews. I was too busy keeping track of who is killing whom to count. The opening sequence, set in Bangkok on New Year's eve, is jaw-dropping in its beauty.  The film has been shot by Stephen F. Windon who makes dazzling use of the celebratory fireworks and fanfare. These sequences aren't tethered in logic – at one point, a gun is thrown away only so we can watch Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans switch to hand-to-hand combat. And while Gosling gets hurt – in one scene, a knife is plunged into his hand – he's never wounded enough to stop fighting. 

But you can't be a stickler for rationality here. The Gray Man belongs to what KGF director Prashanth Neel described as "anti-gravity cinema". The laws of physics don't apply. The pleasure is in watching alluring men and women commit outlandish acts of violence with minimal consequences. This is a film brimming with charismatic actors — including Ana de Armas, Regé-Jean Page, Billy Bob Thornton, Wagner Moura, Julia Butters — the scene stealer from Once Upon a time in Hollywood — and our very own Dhanush , who is referred to as "my sexy Tamil friend". What's not to like? 

Dhanush brings to the film sleek, mostly silent charm, but the stand-out is Evans in the most un-Captain America role that the Russos could possibly construct for him. Evans is Lloyd Hansen, a psychopathic contract killer, who is hired to hunt down Gentry after Gentry discovers some dirty CIA secrets. Lloyd has "a higher kill count than the entire Mossad." He also has too-snug trousers and a Seventies-inspired moustache, also dubbed the "TrashStache" — Netflix is selling replicas of it for $15. Lloyd looks like a clean-scrubbed salesman, but he's given to quoting German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer and pulling out nails with a plier when information is not forthcoming. Evans makes Lloyd's nastiness fearsome, but also funny. In one scene, he's applying lip balm in the background. In another, he refers to Gentry as a Ken Doll. Which may or may not be a reference to the upcoming live-action Barbie movie, in which Gosling plays exactly that. 

But here, Gosling has the less flamboyant part. Gentry is more muted. He's also a killer but without Lloyd's bloodthirst. This is an assassin with Sisyphus tattooed on his hand, which in a low-IQ film like this, becomes an unintentionally hilarious detail. Like the figure from Greek mythology, Gentry is also forced to repeat his murderous actions with little hope of an exit or relief. He also consistently chews gum and brings to his job, baggage from his tough childhood and a quiet sense of humor. At one point, when someone saves his life, he sheepishly admits that his ego is a little bruised. 

The Russos, Marcus and McFeely want to root the action in emotion. But the connective tissue between the set-pieces is painfully thin. The characters and motivations – Gentry must rescue a young girl with a medical ailment – have more than a touch of cliché about them. But we're not here for depth. We're here for what Mumbaiwallas call time-pass, and mostly, The Gray Man delivers that.  

News reports affirm that this film is likely to be the first in a franchise. And that once upon a time, Charlize Theron was considered for the lead role. I hope somewhere down the line, she makes an entry.

The Gray Man Review: Spy Vs. Spy

• The cast is great
• The action sequences pack plenty of spectacle
• The plot features plenty of satisfying spy-movie twists and turns
• The action feels undercut by visual choices
• Much of the dialogue is formulaic
• Too many different visual elements make for a jarring viewing experience

Though their career has showcased a versatility that's led them into the realms of acclaimed TV comedy and crime thrillers, Joe and Anthony Russo are best known to global audiences for spectacle. For better or worse, no matter what they do with the rest of their body of work, they will always be the guys who gave us the two-part finale to Marvel Studios' "Infinity Saga," and the tarmac clash at the core of "Captain America: Civil War." For the average moviegoer, they are Big Movie Guys, now and forever.

So it makes sense that Netflix would want to recruit the Russos — and their Marvel screenwriting partners Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely — for "The Gray Man," the streamer's latest attempt to launch an action cinema franchise that could be the streaming equivalent of Universal's "Fast Saga" or MGM's Bond films. It also makes sense that the Russos would be drawn to "The Gray Man" as a way to leverage their public reputation into a slightly different kind of filmmaking. Removed from the CG-laden battlefields of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the duo makes a clear attempt to apply their spectacle-laden history to a more grounded, human story while also taking the opportunity to jet across the globe for what might be Netflix's most expensive film ever.

The question, after all of that, is whether or not it paid off. Does "The Gray Man" capitalize on the Russos' cinematic past while also granting them a new blockbuster future? Does the star-packed cast deliver the kind of charm and energy required to carry a movie of this scope forward into franchise territory? Does the team that carried so much weight at Marvel still have what it takes to go this big in another genre?

The answers to these questions don't necessarily come easy. Though it's an enjoyable ride packed with movie star swagger, "The Gray Man" is a noticeably rocky road, and makes you wonder if the Russos can ever carry the same magic to the screen without the sparkle of Marvel's stable of heroes in their corner.

In the gray

The "gray man" of the title is Court Gentry ( Ryan Gosling ), an incarcerated criminal who's recruited in the early 2000s to join Sierra, a secretive government program that recruits criminals to serve as spies and assassins for off-the-books operations (think "Suicide Squad" with a little less superpowered mayhem). Nearly two decades later, Gentry is an internationally infamous operative known as "Sierra Six," who's deadly, efficient, and very good at staying hidden, working "in the gray" between the regulated CIA and the world of freelance criminals.

Those skills all come in handy when an operation in Thailand leaves him with a piece of secret CIA intel he was never meant to have, intel that points to a certain higher-up within the agency ( Regé-Jean Page ) as a shadowy criminal mastermind with a laundry list of sins. With that intel in his possession, Six finds himself a wanted man with a crazed, fellow infamous assassin named Lloyd Hansen ( Chris Evans ) on his trail. It's a game of international cat and mouse, made more complicated by Hansen's willingness to exploit any advantage he can gain against Six, including the gray man's mentor ( Billy Bob Thornton ) and the mentor's ailing niece ( Julia Butters ).

Adapted by the Russos and Markus and McFeely from Mark Greaney's series-launching novel of the same name, "The Gray Man" is packed with tropes and situations any longtime spy movie fan will recognize. You've got the deadly operative with a secret heart of gold, the villainous outsider willing to work beyond any agency's rules and regulations, the attractive fellow agent ( Ana De Armas ) willing to stick her neck out for our hero, and of course, plenty of double crosses, left turns, and gun battles as Six realizes every assassin and bounty hunter in the world has been called in to bring him down. The presence of these tropes is not a bad thing, particularly when they're delivered well and filtered through the presence of formidable actors. It's all in the execution, and it's there that "The Gray Man" encounters some difficulty.

A messy mission

On a pure plot level, "The Gray Man" is an action director's dream, a globe-trotting adventure film that breaks out into fight scenes and gun battles every few minutes and packs in no shortage of squibs, explosives, and cannon fodder stunt performers along the way. It's an opportunity for a grand showcase of every action movie trick in the book, and the Russos are clearly having a ball throwing just about everything they can think of on the screen. There's a sense of exuberance in "The Gray Man" that carries it forward in even its roughest moments, a feeling that we're watching two boys play with the world's most expensive toys, and that adds to the film's overall sense of fun.

Of course, some of those toys end up doing the film a disservice. Removed from the relatively unified style of MCU films, the Russos feel unmoored and unfocused, often at times when it counts the most to make "The Gray Man" land. Fight choreography that was clearly carefully crafted by the stunt team is often left obscured in a haze of smoke, neon, or darkness, combined with somewhat frustrating editing that limits the visceral intensity the sequences were aiming for. Drone shots that zip through the frame in a frenzy seem to come from nowhere with jarring frequency, ripping you away from characters and out of the moment despite a clear intention to convey both intensity and a sense of geography. That sense of throwing everything at this film ultimately robs it of a sense of visual unity, giving key sequences a disjointed feeling that leaves you off kilter and detached from the heart of the story.

The good news, though, is that the Russos got honest-to-goodness stars to lead this film, and even in its weakest moments they manage to land quite a bit of what they set out to achieve. Gosling works the mysterious stranger magic he showcased in "Drive" to great effect, and combines it with a hint of the misanthropic dark comedy he deployed in "The Nice Guys." Evans is plainly having a blast being the bad guy, trash 'stache and all, and De Armas gets to take some of the action chops she showed in "No Time to Die" and expand them into a meatier if sometimes unforgiving role. There's a sense throughout the film that, even if the cast isn't enjoying every minute of it, they're at least very good at looking like they did, and that helps the whole story immensely.

So, will "The Gray Man" launch a bona fide action powerhouse at Netflix? Have the Russos succeeded in putting their blockbuster jet fuel into another franchise? It's too early to tell, and naturally, it depends more on Netflix's mythic algorithm than on actual quality. Happily, though, despite its missteps — and there are quite a few scattered throughout this film — "The Gray Man" succeeds as two hours of action movie explosiveness, driven by an engaging cast and a sense of spectacle that, while not as fine-tuned as we might like, is still offering plenty of bang for your buck... or your two hours on the couch.

'The Gray Man' hits Netflix on Friday, July 22.

‘The Gray Man’ Review: Ryan Gosling’s Amusing Spy Can’t Save the Russo Brothers’ Mediocre Thriller

When Joe and Anthony Russo started directing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they felt like an odd choice for a world that already had films from directors like Kenneth Branagh , Joe Johnston , and Shane Black . At the time, they were known for their work in comedy, having written and directed 2002’s Welcome to Collinwood , directed 2006’s You, Me and Dupree , and working on some of the best comedy series of the 2000s-2010s, like Arrested Development , Community , and Happy Endings . But the Russo brothers thrived in the MCU, directing Captain America: The Winter Soldier , Captain America: Civil War , and Avengers: Infinity War .

But ever since the Russo brothers walked away from the MCU (for now) with 2019’s Avengers Endgame —one of the highest-grossing films of all time, and the wrap-up for the first decade of the MCU—the brothers have still been stuck in superhero mode. Their 2021 adaptation of Cherry for Apple TV+, starring Tom Holland , told the story of a veteran with PTSD who becomes a drug addict, was too packed with over-the-top directing and questionable editing that undercut the intriguing tale being told. Now, with The Gray Man , Anthony and Joe Russo are back in the world of action with one of the most expensive films ever made by Netflix, and with this thriller spy film, the brothers Russo still seem to think they’re directing a superhero film.

Ryan Gosling stars as Court Gentry (aka Sierra Six), a CIA mercenary who discovers dark secrets about the agency he works for. On the run while trying to find out the truth, he is hunted by Lloyd Hansen ( Chris Evans ), a psychopath with a trash ‘stache, who will stop at nothing to find his prey.

RELATED: Chris Evans and Ana de Armas on ‘The Gray Man,’ iPhones, and What It’s Really Like Filming an Action Sequence

The screenplay by Joe Russo, Christopher Markus , and Stephen McFeely , and adapted from the book of the same name by Mark Greanery , is packed with plenty of spy movie clichés, from a tech MacGuffin to shady higher-ups keeping the real truth from their agents. Considering that the majority of the film is a spy vs. spy chase around the world, The Gray Man is surprisingly full of too much plot. For example, there’s an entire stretch about Court babysitting Claire Fitzroy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s Julia Butters ), the daughter of Court’s handler Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton). Not to mention, there are just too many supporting characters without much to do, like Regé-Jean Page ’s Denny Carmichael, who hired Lloyd to take out Court, and mostly just seethes in the shadows, as well as Alfre Woodard and Shea Whigham , who are given shockingly little to do here. It’s clear that Netflix is hoping this will become a successful action franchise for them, but in trying to set up all these different threads and characters from the very beginning, it makes this deceptively simple story feel far too bloated at times.

While the summer is always prime time for big, dumb action films, The Gray Man doesn’t seem to know it’s a big, dumb action film. Henry Jackman ’s score evokes the Mission: Impossible soundtrack, and for all its spy plodding and searching for answers, The Gray Man is really just as simple as one man trying to kill another. One would think this would at least lead to some solid action sequences, but the Russo brothers film this like a superhero film, with every fight packed with too much smoke and constant, absurd editing that makes The Gray Man lose all tension and excitement. The Russos almost treat Court and Lloyd like superheroes, fighting their way out of crashing airplanes and acing exploding grenades, while still being able to walk away. It’s as if the Russos want to have the action that the best spy films can craft, but without worrying about the believability and realism that makes those types of films effective. James Bond and Jason Bourne work because we believe this character is in real danger, and in The Gray Man , there’s never any fear for the safety of Court.

Similarly, Russo, Markus, and McFeely’s screenplay never gives the audience a reason to care about this mission or these characters. The Gray Man attempts to build the audience’s interest in Court through the aforementioned babysitting segment, but by that point, The Gray Man is simply stopping this action film to a halt in order to do the characters work the film should’ve already done. There’s no reason to care for Court, other than that Gosling is immediately likable in this role, especially compared to Evans’ maniac who is consistently threatening to murder a child.

Thankfully, the saving grace of The Gray Man comes in watching both Gosling and Evans have a ball in these roles. In his first movie role since 2018’s First Man , Gosling is able to be both a resilient badass spy, and an unbelievably charming figure, despite whatever generic spy sequence he’s stuck in. Gosling’s quiet humor is a great assist for this story, joking about the situation, and having a bit of fun playing off Ana de Armas ’ Sierra spy, Dani Miranda (another character who deserves more time than she’s given here). Also excellent is Evans, going all-in as a villain with no rules. Evans is delightfully weird here, even though The Gray Man never lets Evans embrace just how truly insane Lloyd truly is.

But beyond these two endearing actors being able to gleefully chew the scenery, The Gray Man is mostly a collection of tired spy tropes, directed in a muddled and baffling way, that seemingly exists to set up what seems like will be a fairly unimaginative franchise. The Russo brothers have proven that they can transition from comedy to superhero film with competence, but now, if they want to work outside the world of superhero films, they need to once again transition into a mode that fits the stories they’re trying to tell.

The Gray Man comes to Netflix on July 22.

The Gray Man (2022) Netflix Movie Review – A rip-roaring action romp; this is one of Netflix’s best original movies 

A rip-roaring action romp that is one of netflix’s best original movies.

Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have found great success within the MCU but outside of the comic book flicks they have brought to the screen, their career hasn’t exactly been full of movie successes. Their first movie, Welcome To Collinwood , was certainly watchable but despite the presence of George Clooney, it wasn’t exactly a big hit. And their second movie as directors, the Owen-Wilson starring comedy You, Me and Dupree , was a pretty weak effort that failed to tickle the funny bone.

Thankfully, their next movie was the excellent Captain America: Winter Soldier and they followed this with up with the blockbuster Avenger movies that ended Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As a result of these successes, the expectation for their next movie, Cherry , was very high, but while I personally enjoyed it, not many critics shared my positive opinion.

So, what about The Gray Man ? Once again, expectations have been high but because the directors’ movies outside of the MCU have largely disappointed, there was no guarantee that this would be an Avengers-style hit.

Thankfully, I’m happy to report that their latest movie is actually pretty good. It’s not on the same level as their superhero extravaganzas but it’s certainly a step up from their other movies and is worth a watch if you like spy thrillers with heavy doses of action. Ryan Gosling stars as super slick killing machine Sierra 6 (real-name Courtland Gentry) and if you’re a fan of the star, you will have extra reason to watch this globetrotting romp.

The weakest part of the movie is the plot, as it plays strictly to formula and offers very few surprises. Gosling’s character, who is serving time in prison for murder at the start of the story, is recruited and trained by the CIA to silently dispatch the ruthless bad guys that Uncle Sam wants to do away with.

But as is usual in movies of this type, he is eventually forced to go rogue when the agency turns against him (for reasons I won’t disclose here for fear of spoilers) and he has to fight for his life when a mercenary is sent out to dispatch him by any means necessary.

Both the Mission Impossible and the Bourne movies have followed this formula and there are many other movies out there, Salt and Licence To Kill included, that have featured rogue agent plotlines. Of course, there is nothing wrong with a movie being formulaic if it can stand out in other ways, and mercifully, The Gray Man is able to rise above its tired story with some standout action sequences.

After a scene at the start of the movie in which Gentry escapes from the police after being handcuffed to a bench, we get a bullet-laden chase scene through Prague, followed by other exhilarating action scenes both on the ground and in the air. Gosling excels in the role and in some of the movie’s cooler moments, he manages to give John Wick a run for his money. He is convincing as both an action hero and a tortured soul with a tragic family history, and he’s compelling to watch as he battles bad guys, bonds with a girl that he was once protector for, and swaggers around the screen in a sharp scarlet suit looking every inch the badass that he was trained to be.

There is no word yet on a sequel to this movie but if it does prove to be a hit with Netflix audiences, this could be the start of a very exciting franchise. There are currently ten books (with at least one more on the way) about Courtland Gentry so there is certainly scope for Gosling to become the next big action star. He has the talents and the looks to match Bond, Bourne, and all of the other heroes that have graced our screens, so it would be a disappointment if this was his only go-round as the suave assassin of the title.

Gosling isn’t the only actor to impress in the movie as he is well-matched by Chris Evans, playing against type as Lloyd Hansen, the mercenary ordered to take him down by Carmichael (Regé-Jean Page), a shady figure working high up within the CIA. As Hansen, Evans is suitably slimy and smarmy and is the direct antithesis of the Captain America persona that he has now become most associated with. Unlike Gentry, Hansen doesn’t have a great deal of backstory but this rarely matters, as we care more about him getting his ass kicked than learning about his past career achievements.

Evans delivers in the action stakes as does Ana de Armas who takes on the role of Dani Miranda, a CIA agent who takes it upon herself to support Gentry after he goes rogue. She has other things to worry about, such as some dodgy goings-on within her department, but these take a backseat to the action hijinks that she and her male co-stars take part in.

In many ways, this is a summer popcorn movie that can be watched at home rather than in the cinema although you may have the option to watch it on the big screen as it has been released theatrically too.

As a Netflix Original movie, it’s certainly one of the better offerings the streaming service has put money into and is a lot less cheesy than the similarly big-budgeted Red Notice which was a fun but dumb action thriller. This one stands out because of its great cast, which also includes Billy Bob Thornton and Alfre Woodard, and the expert directing of the Russo Brothers, who deliver several exciting set-pieces.

This isn’t a movie that will ever be considered an action classic but for the most part, it is an entertaining watch and can be recommended, despite the stale plot elements that may infuriate some.

I had a good time with this and provided you don’t expect a lot of brains over brawn, you might enjoy this too. It’s one of Netflix’s priciest movies and for once, it is worth the high production costs and our increased subscription expenses.

Does The Gray Man have an after credits scene? Directed by Avengers: Endgame filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo , The Gray Man is adapted to the big screen from the 2009 novel by Mark Greaney. The film has been in development since 2011. Back then, Brad Pitt was attached. In 2015, Charlize Theron was considered to star, but The Gray Man ultimately picked up steam again with the Russo Brothers and Netflix’s involvement.

The Gray Man will draw similarities to The Bourne Identity movies and its action sequences have an old-school feel to them. In the Netflix film, Ryan Gosling plays Sierra Six, a black ops mercenary with the CIA who is tasked with killing a target. However, things go awry and Sierra Six finds himself on the run after he discovers a few agency secrets that Denny Carmichael ( Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page ) and his associates do not want to get out. There are more than a few reunions in the film, with Chris Evans (who plays the sordid Lloyd Hansen) returning to work with the Russo Brothers and Ana de Armas (portraying Dani Miranda) reuniting with both Evans and Gosling, with whom she co-starred in Knives Out and Blade Runner 2049 , respectively.

Considering The Gray Man leaves a couple of major plot threads hanging by the end of the film, many will wonder if there is a post-credits scene. After all, the Russo Brothers would be no strangers to them, having included them when they directed their slate of Marvel Cinematic Universe films . However, The Gray Man does not have an after credits scene . There is no mid-credits scene, either, which is interesting since the film certainly plays out like a franchise starter. It’s possible there will be more of Sierra Six in the future, but the film’s ending — sans a hint of what could be coming story-wise — will have to suffice.

Does The Gray Man Need A Post-Credits Scene?

Despite not having a post-credits scene, The Gray Man will leave audiences wanting more in terms of answers to questions posed at the start of the film. While an after credits scene would have teased what’s to come, there is already enough information in the film to maintain the intrigue. Conversely, not having a post-credits scene allows The Gray Man to stand on its own should a sequel never happen. Though audiences won’t have to sit through the entirety of the credits after the film’s ending , it is always interesting to learn about (and appreciate) those who worked on the film. The Gray Man has a strong start and it’s always possible that a potential sequel will have a post-credits scene to set up the next story. All told, the film works just fine without one.

The Gray Man: Despite its charismatic leads, the film falls short of expectations

Dhanush is making his Hollywood debut with “ The Gray Man .” The Russo Brothers, known for their blockbuster hits like “Avengers: Endgame,” are in charge of directing the high-budget action movie.

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have a long history of working together. A few short films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, have been produced by this group of writers and directors.

These four are reuniting to create The Gray Man, a $200 million action thriller based on Mark Greaney’s book, after their huge Marvel success. For a high-octane action film that doesn’t hold back despite falling short in the story and character development department, Netflix has gathered some of the most gorgeous faces in Hollywood.

This is a Russo brothers film. If the MCU taught us anything, it’s that the Russos are masters at handling chases, shootouts, and fight scenes flawlessly. There are two reasons why viewers should add this movie to their Netflix queue. The first is the action, which is expertly captured throughout.

The stunt work on display is fantastic as usual, and the Russos know when to employ wide vistas and closeups to create brilliant, exhilarating action that works beautifully.

This film has moments that make me think of the gritty thrills from their Captain America movies, but other moments make me think that it’s trying to copy John Wick’s use of neon colors. Despite the film’s vivid colors, colorful smoke, and pyrotechnics, there are instances when it can appear desaturated and visually uninteresting.

Even Netflix’s cheaper action movies, like Kate and Gunpowder Milkshake from a year ago, have a more enticing visual style than this movie, which tries to look amazing but never quite manages to pull it off. However, with nonstop action and a rapid pace, this film aims to entertain, and it succeeds well in doing so.

The three movie stars who appear at the beginning of the film are the second reason Netflix customers will devour this picture. Six, a CIA black ops mercenary who must flee, is portrayed by Ryan Gosling.

In his first part in four years following First Man in 2018, he completely sells himself as an action hero, even though the film never makes use of his Oscar-nominated acting talent. Chris Evans reteams with the Russos and plays a role that is utterly unrelated to Captain America.

Six’s psychopathic former coworker Lloyd Hansen, sporting an a-hole mustache, is more than willing to track him down. Evans is back in his pre-Stars and Stripes area of playing scoundrels, and he does so with effortless grace. Gosling and Evans are two attractive people who are archenemies and work magic together.

In this movie, Ana de Armas reteams with her Knives Out and Blade Runner 2049 co-stars Dani Miranda, a supporter of Six’s goal. Despite being a talented actress, de Armas, like Gosling, never has a chance to stand out in this picture. She is largely one-dimensional throughout the movie, and the directing never lets her show the magnetism she has in No Time to Die.

This film most strongly reminds me of Red Notice from 2021, another instance of Netflix bringing together three attractive movie actors for a $200 million action movie that audiences will watch and then forget about after the credits have rolled.

The cameo Dhanush made in The Gray Man has been praised. To the delight of the Indian fans, despite having a small part in the movie, he steals the show. Here’s a sneak peek at Dhanush’s assassination in The Gray Man.

The Russos’ direction is terrific anytime they take a step back, even though the plot is only a convenient pretext for action scenes. Similar to how their aesthetic in Cherry could have detracted from the movie, their flashier drone images occasionally do. It’s a movie that earns no marks for realism but lots of points for the background noise that makes you want to switch off your brain every now and then.
