If you’ve ever plugged the word “Bourne” into the Netflix search bar, watched at least two minutes of Extraction, or Googled “Avengers: Endgame streaming,” The Gray Man owes you a special-thanks credit. Netflix’s charmless new action movie is a veritable tag cloud of keywords adapted into a lump of generic subscriber bait.
The plot is bog-standard, just pure globetrotting boilerplate. It hinges on Gosling’s Six opting, for apparently the very first time, to ignore orders and not squeeze the trigger. Thanks to his hesitation, he ends up in possession of a computer chip containing some incriminating dirt on The Company.
The Gray Man reunites Evans with directors Joe and Anthony Russo and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, aka the creative team behind some of the heftiest, most well-liked entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Russo brothers stage their set pieces with a chaotic jitter that seemed fleetingly fresh when applied to superhero skirmishes but has degraded into clumsiness.
Collateral damage is almost a punchline in The Gray Man. It’s frankly depressing, the way Hollywood has processed the war-crimes skullduggery of the CIA into cynical cliché. One might be inclined to compare such a dim, grim view of the intelligence community with the military fetish of the Marvel machine if the Russos didn’t treat both as wallpaper.
This looks dope as fuck. Like a john wick but with barbie man.
