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

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.

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.

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

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.

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…

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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]

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.

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

An unapologetically pure action movie, and as such, tremendously entertaining.
Full Review | Sep 6, 2022
A movie devoted to fists, guns, and kicking as much as the “Fast and Furious” series showcases speeding cars.
Full Review | Original Score: B | Sep 6, 2022
An A-grade budget trying to wallpaper over a B-grade script.
