The Gray Man Movie Review: “The Gray Man” is the most-awaited movie to come out of Hollywood in years.

Verdict
Most Hollywood action movies are about a secret agent and the problems he or she faces. The Gray Man is a lot like a James Bond movie in that it moves at a very fast pace and is full of action. This movie has some great performances and action scenes, but it seems to follow a standard formula. Most of the scenes can be guessed by the average moviegoer, and only a few of them keep the audience’s attention.
Ryan Gosling as Sierra Six and Chris Evans as the cold-blooded and crazy Lloyd Hansen are a perfect match. Ana de Armas and Jessica Henwick were both great in the roles they played. The way Dhanush plays Avik San may not live up to what the audience wants, since the character seems underdeveloped and only shows up in a few action scenes. Fans might not be happy with his new role. All of the other actors and actresses did a great job in their parts.
When things start to get exciting, Henry Jackman’s music adds just the right amount of tension. This movie had perfect action scenes, and the production quality was about what you’d expect from a Hollywood film. The script that the Russo Brothers, who are a directing team, writing could have been better. Even though some of the important actors give great performances, it doesn’t seem to live up to the high expectations.
You can watch it for the action, but it won’t keep you on the edge of your seat.
Rating: 3/5
