Nonetheless, in its own fast and furious way, the film is cleverly constructed – a modern-day equivalent to one of those old matinee adventures in which Douglas Fairbanks would play swashbuckling pirates taking on the world.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 16, 2025

The Gray Man may feel 15 minutes too long, but there is still much to enjoy. Chris Evans is having a ball, Ryan Gosling cements his reputation as an action star in waiting, while Ana de Armas matches her co-stars in the arse kicking stakes.

While the adrenaline-filled film boasts an all-star cast, top-notch camera-work and impressive stunt work, it lacks in character development and story giving us concepts we’ve seen over and over.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 16, 2024

For myself, star performances and expensive grand sets are two non-negotiable ingredients of a blockbuster. The Russo brothers’ newest film has both. (And maybe it’s just a two-ingredient genre film, but that’s perfectly fine with me).

This movie will more than likely just be a random grey blank spot in your memory within a few days.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Jul 12, 2024

It's like somebody rabbit-punching your brain for the best part of two hours, and there's a certain enjoyability in that.

The Russo brothers’ supposed answer to the Bond franchise is a product of popcorn entertainment that is defined by giving the audience what they want and that’s just it.

Netflix’s The Gray Man is its Most Expensive and Emptiest Star Vehicle

| Nov 2, 2023

In short, the movie looks like someone painted over each frame of the film with urine. The whole thing has this sickly yellow tint to it that's even more off-putting than the usual teal-and-orange colour grading of most big-budget blockbusters.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 29, 2023

Given Netflix’s expenditures and the star pedigree on screen, audiences deserve — and should expect — more.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 9, 2023

If not an all-timer within a tried-and-tested genre, The Gray Man is a strong showcase for its leads, their screen presence and ability to carry the source material which can be overloading with exposition on occasion.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2023

A flat out AWESOME! An action packed spy thrill ride that mixes the best of Winter Soldier, Fast/Furious, & John Wick. Ryan Gosling is that ACTION HERO…

The Gray Man is just expensive, glamour-less, and unsharp.

| Original Score: D | Jul 25, 2023

If you've seen the trailer, you've basically seen the film; it is an underwhelming affair that sounds great on paper, but isn't executed well enough to be memorable.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 24, 2023

The Gray Man is a wannabe John Wick lost in a tonally incohesive script. You’ve seen this movie before you even press play.

| Jul 24, 2023

The Russo Brothers return with a star-studded action thriller in Netflix’s The Gray Man that’s great where the heart is concerned but nothing special overall.

| Jul 23, 2023

The Gray Man is a sad affair. As a fan of Ryan Gosling, as a fan of Ana De Armas, as a fan of Dhanush, as a fan of action cinema, this is sad.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 20, 2023

We begin a 129 min journey jam-packed with quippy retorts, gratuitous violence and a hail of bullets that leap you chuckling and wiping tears of laughter from your eyes. That being said, The Gray Man is entirely devoid of substance.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 20, 2023

Unfortunately this did not flow for me. Gosling on paper seemed to be a very interesting character, but instead his character don't have real progression or likability. Then the action just wasn't up to par with what we've seen this amazing directors do

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 26, 2022

Despite its fast-paced rhythm and the caliber of the talent in front and behind the camera, it ends up being an unimaginative and formulaic spy flick. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 5, 2022
