Story The plot follows: CIA hitman Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling) working under the codename “Sierra Six,” discovers classified information that may expose the murky operations of the intelligence agency immediately he becomes a liability. Since their top employee is sacked The agency hires a different assassin Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans) to bring Six down. What happens to the person who survives this global hunger game?
Review as the title suggests”Gray Man” is a fictionalized version of Gosling’s Six, A good man with a criminal background. His actions aren’t black and white. He’s equally correct and incorrect. He’s a bad guy, but with comical undertones Lloyd. The fight between the good guy and the bad guy is raging as the criminals within the CIA are caught doing bad things. To hide the wrongdoing they will resort to doing other methods. Use covert operations, read, to settle personal grievances. The result is a fast and intense, over-the-top gunplay that weaves a the game of cat and mouse between the attractive guy wearing the tights (Evans) along with the better looking guy in tracksuit (Gosling). It’s true that tracksuits have ethics, while tight pants have no ethics. To try to beat each others, two take to the streets, destroying all that is in their path.
The Russo Brothers (directors Anthony and Joe) popularly known in their Marvel films, are now off the leash. The heroes, though unstoppable, are now able to inflict collateral damage, unlike the heroes of righteous that can’t cause harm to a fly, unless it is villainous aliens. The team clearly feels free and has decided to be as dark as they can. Expect bombings, more gunplay, fights, super-exaggerated chase sequences, etc. They appear to be especially attracted to mercenary-style asset retrieval themes. Their prior Netflix film”Extraction” which starred Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda was also a hitman that saved the kidnapped child who was being chased.
They increase the stakes by making this ‘grey vs. evil’ battle to the global level. Although entertaining, and sometimes funny, their action-oriented thrillers that aren’t superhero-centric are a bit juvenile and have no desire to create intriguing characters. The main goal is to be awe-inspiring the audience with back-to back action sequences. A stunning tram sequence will keep you on high alert, and is the best action sequence in the film. However, after a while the thin, wafer-thin characters going around in circles trying to be funny is a little tiresome. The rivalry between Lloyd and Six is supposed to be the highlight of the movie, actually feels more ridiculous than it is. Despite having two extremely popular and good actors the script barely scratches the surface. The words ethics morals, values, morals and corruption are tossed around with little focus on the the substance.
A moustache Chris Evans mouthing flirty lines to other guys is an amusing sight. He refers to Gosling by the name of ‘Ken Doll’ cute cupcake’ and is known to Dhanush as’my hot Tamil acquaintance’. Dhanush is more of comedy relief rather instead of a psychopath on loose. Dhanush is extremely intense and makes an impact in a major action sequence. It’s a brief but well-acted guest appearance. Killing Machine Ryan Gosling’s stern look and sarcasm is the perfect 10. The movie, however, just like his character , is an Six. Gray Man Gray Man is Mission Impossible meets Bourne series, but without their amazing music and the swag. If you’re not averse to the mechanical action of a thriller it is a good one. Although Netflix has put an enormous amount of money into the film and it would have been better if it had been released theatrically. been the ideal choice for this film due to its size as well as its pace and the genre.
