The Russo brothers action movie The Gray Man released at select theatres today and what we come to know watching the movie is that this is a non stop action picture. Story is a spy thrill concept where certain government organizations are involved and several people are on the run.
Ryan Goslings effortless performance steals the show in the movie. He is the main character in the movie, charismatic enough to hold his own in action sequence. He is the cool guy in the movie who will make you laugh and also do a lot of action.
Chris Evans was fantastic in the movie. He has done done different role this time, quite different from the good guy role he used to play in Captain America. He plays the psychopathic character inthe movie who is egoistic and is ready to do anything to get the mission assigned yo him completed. He is always screaming in the movie having temper issues.
Ana de Armas was wasted in this movie. Her character got less screentime in the movie. I felt her character was sidelined in the movie. Ryan Goslings father figure role to a young girl, that part in the story was touchy. I liked watching that part in the movie.
First hour of the film was a little boring. Action sequences were nice in the movie specially the hand combat scenes. One train scene action sequence was really wow. Dialogues were nice. There were quite many funny moments in the movie. Ryan Gosling gives a consistent performance throughout the movie. You will enjoy this film more if you are a Ryan Gosling or Chris Evan admirer.
This movie is definitely not a masterpiece, but quite a great movie to watch for its solid action performance. I enjoyed watching the movie and I can even watch the movie second time.
Cinematography wise also the picture was nice. Excessive amount of drone shots used in the film. Story and plot lines get little messy at times. Sometimes they are showing one thing, suddenly they are showing something else.
This picture is natural when it comes to engagement with the audience. They are not trying to be funny by force. We can feel like laughing in the comedy elements of the movie. It is natural, nothing by force. They have maintained the naturality of this movie. Good movie overall, I rate this movie 3 stars out of 5.
This picture is releasing on Netflix July 22. You can also watch.
