Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4695381, member: 974"] [B]The Gray Man (2022)[/B] Ryan Gosling has made a living keeping his mouth shut. It makes him perfect as the ex-con CIA asset that has his world torn to shreds. I love action movies so I am predisposed to liking this. Throw in Ana de Armas and I'm defenseless. Some of the action sequences - the Vienna scene in particular- are very long. They are also very well done and edited crisply. The body count is near John Wick territory. But this is actually an interesting story. You care about the characters. And everything is plot driven. Chris Evans gets his chance to play the pyschopathic bad guy and he plays with a slight, very dark, comedic bent that works well. All the material is treated lightly (even the torture) and it really helps the flow of the movie. If you don't like action movies, you'll hate it. I love them. Three stars. [/QUOTE]
