The Gray Man (2022) is a highly entertaining, and to me, memorable thriller. I've rewatched it four times now, which is rare for me. The visuals and effects are (mostly) high quality, and heavily contribute to making the movie intense. All of this, however, doesn't make the film absolutely flawless. Some scenes feel visually cluttered, and the plot is similar to many other action/crime thrillers. To add on, the budget was $200,000,000 - very high for a thriller with the sole purpose of a few hours of entertainment. Most films of this quality cost less than $100,000,000 to make. Overall, this is a very entertaining movie with awesome visuals (applies to most scenes) and intense action sequences, but does contain a mediocre plot and has an unnecessarily high budget. Worth at least 1-2 views for all action movie fans.

It's good stuff, but ought to have been so much more. <em>'The Gray Man'</em> features all the ingredients to have become a quality movie. Unfortunately, it is simply 'just' a watchable popcorn action flick. That's not necessarily a criticism in itself, it's just that I had hoped for far greater. Ryan Gosling puts in an entertaining performance, his dynamic with youngster Julia Butters is reminiscent of his similar showing with Angourie Rice in 2016's <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/the-nice-guys/">The Nice Guys</a>'</em>. Chris Evans and Ana de Armas are noteworthy positives alongside Gosling. The worldwide vibe of the story is cool, while the action sequences - aside from one 'skydiving' scene - are satisfactory enough. I enjoyed the film thus have no real complaints, it just could've/should've been something more memorable.

Seing this as another run to the mill Netflix release should not keep your hopes up. Netflix is where mediocre goes to congreate to the masses. We have another spy action movie amongst us. Last one before this was Kate, that was another bland action-spy movie. This offers absolutely NOTHING new to the table. We seen every trick this movie offer before. Over-skilled agents. Clever coreographed fight scenes, Trick tactics, agents with no names, An agency who elimintaes their own agents, expendable kill teams, plenty conspiracies and tons of action. But i have to say i enjoy Gosling alone in this one. He plays it cool. Its just shame that he is backed up with a script littered with clichés from start to end. We also have Ana De Armas who is fast becoming the new Tom Holland that appears everywhere. An actress that is milked trought the Hollywood system and spewed out to never be heard of again some day. But the movie is for sure a worthy popcorn flick with no expetations to give. On a entertainment standpoint it delivers.
