The Gray Man discovers secrets from his government that immediately makes him enemy #1. With a skilled killer on his trail, our protagonist must use his wits and skills with a gun to survive.
This film gets by on the charms of Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. If this film had two different actors in these roles, it'd be rated a lot lower. Overly long with CGI barfed action sequences that have poor editing, The Gray Man is an overbudgeted mess at times.
At other times, it's a sleek action thriller with a chillingly funny performance from Evans and a charmingly calculated killer performance from Gosling. Ana de Armas has a supporting role and she kicks as much ass as the men, helping the film elevate above the by the numbers directed action.
How many drone shots do we need? How many badly done CGI smoke scenes are they using to cloud the scene? The more I talk about this movie the more I want to throw it down the list a couple spots.
