Review | Netflix movie review: The Gray Man – Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling in entertaining action thriller from Avengers: Endgame directors
- The Russo brothers, who have directed two of the biggest films ever, are back with a new thriller, The Gray Man
- Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas all seem to have fun in this James Bond-like action movie
3.5/5 stars
But with The Gray Man, a brash, entertaining, all-star thriller based on a book by Mark Greaney, the siblings are back with big-screen spectacle – albeit viewers will see it on a small screen, it being for Netflix.
Ryan Gosling stars as Court Gentry, a CIA black ops spy and a former jailbird who is recruited by Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton) for an operation.
Gentry, a highly skilled operative known as Sierra Six, is in the field when he discovers that his boss, Denny Carmichael (Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page), is far from serving his country’s best interests.
On the run across Europe, with evidence in his pocket, he is pursued by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a psychopathic private contractor sent by Carmichael. His only ally on the ground is Ana de Armas’ capable agent Dani.
