The Gray Man - 6.3/10
Weak storyline, or say a very old plot of CIA agents on a mission but this time they tried to blend it with a direct head to head combat of 2 stars Ryan and Evans to give some weight to it. It is a very big budget movie, almost 200 million dollars which is somewhere near 1600 Cr INR, a lot could have been better. The bad part was the continuity in different countries. The Russo Brothers went almost all over the world from Prague to Coatia to France to wherenot, but just to show where the Agent can hide? That was unnecessary spending to be honest. And the same mistakes that most movies are doing today, how many bullets can a handgun shoot? There were some really good chilling action scenes. Dhanush played his role beautifully. He looked like the Mad Dog of The Raid. His fierce action timing makes you feel he is born for action but the world will be totally surprised when they know he is a method actor of India. Action movies don't need to flow simply and smoothly and are sensationalized in every 2nd scene. Sadly the Gray man doesn't explore any new genre and follows the same well established action and it wont stand the trial of time. It algorithmically tried to tick all boxes but fell short with randomness. The only saving grace were action scenes with a very weak storyline. Ana de Armas should be given more action movies. She is hot and the audience loves her actions. Watch it for Dhanush if you are from India. The last fight between Evans and Gosling especially with that small knife is too good.
