The Gray Man review- by Dominic Rizzi

Written by: Joe Russo, Stephen McFeely & Christopher Markus

Directed by: Anthony Russo & Joe Russo

Rating: That’s Hot

Produced by the Russo brothers' company, AGBO, the film is intended to start a franchise based upon Greaney's Gray Man novels. The film focuses on the CIA agent Court Gentry aka 6, who is on the run from sadistic mercenary Lloyd Hanson upon discovering corrupt secrets about his superior.

Another super fun, super solid, super consistent, entertaining Netflix action film. The Russo bros. have proved that the spy/espionage genre is their forte. The script could have used a couple touch-ups, as it felt like a first draft at points, and a few of the actors could not deliver their lines effectively. But Gosling & Evans anchor it. Between their respective physicalities and comedic edge mixed with hyper violent tendencies, not to mention some amazing one-liners, they created an effective, entertaining dynamic that carries the whole movie on their respective broad shoulders, with some awesome action set pieces to boot. It also boasts a solid supporting performance from Once upon a Time in Hollywood breakout Julia Butters. Overall, a fun escapist piece, which we really don't get much of now.
