The Gray Man Review: Gosling & Evans Deliver In Fun Action Franchise Starter
Netflix's latest attempt at the action movie blockbuster is The Gray Man, which is based on Mark Greaney's 2009 spy thriller novel. For The Gray Man, directors Anthony and Joe Russo re-team with a few of their Marvel Cinematic Universe collaborators, including writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, as well as Captain America himself Chris Evans. For their second directorial effort since closing out the MCU's Phase 3 with Avengers: Endgame, the Russos assembled a star-studded cast: Ryan Gosling, Ana de Armas, Regé-Jean Page, Billy Bob Thornton and Dhanush. The Gray Man is a spiritual throwback to 80s and 90s action movies, with pulse-pounding fight scenes, delightfully cheesy dialogue, and a wickedly fun villain.
