This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a horrendous piece of trash movie this was. What was the point of it? It was a nonsensical mess of a plot, with characters acting on whims and impulses that made no sense whatsoever.

The movie started with Ryan Gosling, a criminal assassin who worked for the CIA for 18 years, suddenly going rogue for no apparent reason. He deviated from his mission, killed his target, and took a flash drive that contained some mysterious secrets. Why did he do that? At no point in the film was his reasoning for doing that mentioned.

Then we have Ana De Armas, a CIA analyst who somehow got involved in this mess. She was interrogated by her superiors about the mission, and then she decided that she was compromised and had to escape. How did she manage to get out of a secure CIA facility? How did she track down Gosling's character? How does she keep popping up in different locations around the world to help him out whenever the plot needs her to be? Again, the movie never bothered to explain.

This movie made me so furious. It was BAD. It insulted my intelligence and wasted my precious time. It was full of clichés, plot holes, and illogical actions. It had no depth, no meaning, no purpose. It was a pathetic attempt at making an action thriller that failed miserably. Do yourself a favour and avoid this movie at all costs.… Expand

ThereThe Gray Man. Ryan Gosling is back! Anthony Russo and Joe Russo's new film can be scolded for its resemblance to old franchises like Mission: Impossible and James Bond, but it's still a very fast-paced film with its own storytelling. There are absolutely no complaints about the entire cast. All performed their roles superbly. Of course, I was very pleased with the hero Ryan Gosling, this is both a killer machine and a dude who can throw a sharp joke. There is great hope that there will be a sequel. Anthony and Joe Russo said that if the film passed the quality assessment, it could start a new franchise.… Expand

I'm not sure how a movie by the Russo brothers starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans could be so "meh", but they managed to do it. Super forgettable and bland, and I usually like these kinds of movies (M:I, Bourne trilogy etc.).

As an action heavy movie, the story matters little, but what there is is too long, too boring, and makes too little sense that it becomes a distraction. Talented actors are wasted on unbelievable, mechanical and unsympathizable characters. Dialogues are poorly written, and instead of funny the jokes just come of as trying too hard to lighten the mood. Overall two hours of my life that I would rather have done almost anything else, not to mention the $200M that should have gone to Ukraine or almost anything else. No chance that The Gray Man would become a franchise as Netflix has hyped.… Expand

Great premise... but so many plot holes so they have excuses for the action. Yes, the other reviews were correct, cliche after cliche. The screenplay is the worst, and the editing and cinematography are great. Without superheroes in their story, to cover the plot holes, it just falls apart. If you decide to see it, make sure you have the ability to fast forward through the boring parts (most of the fight scenes where they just hit each other forever). The normal wooden acting from Gosling, but since most everyone are one-dimensional characters it does not really matter. Oh, and in case you care, there are no character arcs for any of the characters, just action.… Expand

To take an all-star cast and direct them in that graceful way a bull treads thought a China shop. The Grey Man actually succeeded in all of these fields. It also managed to feel dragged out and rushed at the same time somehow through the use of random flashbacks. Please don't make my mistake and stay very far away from this film.… Expand

The action comes thick and fast with a decent production budget. Sadly the pacing and screenplay are a little off and in combination with the quick fight cuts and constant camera movement, things quickly dull as tense fight scenes are traded in for a higher body count. After around 150 people die and the credits roll I was left wondering what a more restrained approach with a tighter script could feel like.… Expand

And so much destructive capacity on display - in the air, on the ground, guess the budget didn't allow for ships/subs. And the answer to the kill teams question: more than the ten they threw at him.

It seems that Keanu Reeves was one of the responsible in havin' seen in Ana de Armas the potential to launch her in Hollywood as a new sex symbol. She, born in Havana and therefore Spanish speaking, did not know a word of English but, after the necessary learning courses, in 2015 she shot her first two films exactly with Keanu. She continued to play this her only role until the gigantic naked hologram in Villeneuve's "Blade Runner 2049" (2017). Then the sudden and unexpected turn alongside Craig in "No Time To Die" (Fukunaga 2021): a small part yet the most successful action sequence of the film. Now here she is co-starring with Gosling who forces the directors to the uninterrupted use of the Kuleshov effect: had Reeves been free and available, we would have had a "John Wick 4". The complete lack of ideas and images not already used millions of times forces the Russo brothers to hide such deficit with a dizzling pace, and it is the best thing about a blockbuster that flows away very fluidly so as to achieve its primary goal: an unconditional intellectual disengagement.… Expand

Two of some of the highest grossing directors right now, two of the top three highest grossing screenwriters right now, decent editors, A-list actors, and a $200 million budget?? There were a couple of good moments, but those were a few pieces of straw in a pile of needles. At first, I enjoyed Gosling's dead-pan calm performance, but that wore thin quick. Chris Evans was just "be a highly energetic guy who really enjoys being an **** and has the license to do whatever." Terribly choreographed fight scenes, badly edited, bland cinematography, forgetful sound, and 99% terrible dialog, and a cookie-cutter version of a cookie-cutter story line. Wow. Never read the books, but even if they're good, I won't read them. You'd think Netflix throwing a *massive* budget, with S-Tier staff all around, would make a decent movie. But someone dropped the ball, excepting a Fast and Furious level quality action film. Why not make a more down to Earth version of the Borne films, instead of a 'Machete' level version of the Borne films, that was also taken seriously? Skip it if you haven't watched it already.… Expand

It's the laziest bunch of criticism I've yet to behold. This is a fun movie and it's a great cast, even if the roles as written aren't particularly challenging. But Gosling and Evans have a great rapport and Evans in particular creates a character so hilarious that you may need to watch this twice.

Hey, reviewers, if you don't like action movies, or comedies, or combinations thereof, then stick to what you like. Writing lazy, negative reviews is like some guy at a party who didn't want to come in the first place and is going to bum out everyone within earshot. Piss off!… Expand

The Gray Man is formula film on steroids, complete with unrealistic action without the need of computer-generated everything, dialogue that is no where near real world interactive speech and Chris Evans who looks like Hitler during his barbershop quartet days. I can count on my watch the minutes left before Disney sends over the acquisition papers to Netflix. You will watch The Gray Man when you have watched all others available and you're tired of watching reruns.… Expand

Terrible. Doesn’t resemble the book whatsoever. They couldn’t have made a worse adaptation if they tried. It is so unrecognizable that they shouldn’t have been allowed to call this “The Gray Man.” Embarrassingly bad.

It starts off with some promise and it's good to see Ryan Gosling and Ana De Armas together back on the big screen (since Bladerunner 2049) but the Gray Man is just another film that will end up in Netflix's growing forgotten pile of trash.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One way to explain this movie would be a worse "John Wick". Completely generic plot that revolves around crooked CIA members and the proof contained in a memory stick. The protagonist has such memory stick and is chased for it. The end of the movie you say? The bad guys got to live and have the memory stick. However our protagonist got to save the children! "Wait what does the children has to do with all of this?" You ask. Well it doesn't make any sense. This is the last straw of a dying platform. Making a movie thinking already of making a series. Think again Netflix. Bye and see you when you got better again. *Unsubscribed*… Expand
