Gosling’s one of those actors for whom a recurring action hero role somehow feels long overdue, and the Russos have taken advantage of more than just his good looks and smoldering gazes. Read full review

What makes The Gray Man exciting — and let’s not beat around the bush: This is the most exciting original action property Netflix has delivered since “Bright” — are the shades the ensemble bring to their characters and the little ways in which the Russos come through where those other films fell short.

The Gray Man is part of an unflattering pattern where creativity plays second fiddle to algorithms. Read full review

The Gray Man gets better as it goes along, and it contains a couple of action sequences that are as imaginative and well-crafted as any that you’ll see all year. So don’t dismiss it. Netflix it. Read full review

The movie feels increasingly tired. All that gunplay, all that traveling, all that sneering from Lloyd: Everything gets a bit . . . much. Read full review

Collider Ross Bonaime

Jul 22, 2022

Beyond these two endearing actors being able to gleefully chew the scenery, The Gray Man is mostly a collection of tired spy tropes, directed in a muddled and baffling way, that seemingly exists to set up what seems like will be a fairly unimaginative franchise. Read full review

David Sims

The Gray Man is a completely anonymous viewing experience, a series of set pieces and pithy jokes that’s devoid of personality. Read full review

It is a non stop thrill ride with some really great action sequences and a super stellar cast! Chris Evans, especially, is really relishing in this role, and it shows on the screen. There's also a great mix of some dark comedy that seems almost perfectly placed at all the best, most appropriate moments, but isn't too much, it's a good balance with the action and drama! Highly recommended and honestly did not want it to end. It could have continued for another two hours and I would have been fine.

Watched at the premiere at the Regency Bruin theater in Westwood featuring a post-screening Q&A with the Russo Brothers, Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana De Armas, Jessica Henwick, Ragè-Jean Page, Julia Butters, Dhanush, Alfre Woodard, and Billy Bob Thornton.… Expand

Just giving it a 10 cuz it's not as bad as all the miserable haters say it is. I had fun watching it. That's all that really matters cuz it's meant to entertain and distract ppl for a little bit.

This is a great popcorn film; the good guys are angels and the bad guys are devils. The movie has very flashy visuals with a good use of colour, and some spectacular drone shots to enhance the action. This is not a film with some deeper meaning or layers of character development, just enjoyThis is a great popcorn film; the good guys are angels and the bad guys are devils.

Certainly not a masterpiece, but more like the mildly entertaining Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme movies of the 80s and 90s. Not great, but also not terrible, very generic.

The bombastic sequences are borderline enjoyable. Even if The Gray Man is watchable I still can't recommend it, because there's no reason to watch this instead of dozens of better spy action thrillers.
