Review of The Gray Man (2022) by Meatbag — 26 Jul 2022
How did all these professionals think such a mediocre effort was gonna fly? Two of some of the highest grossing directors right now, two of the top three highest grossing screenwriters right now, decent editors, A-list actors, and a $200 million budget?? There were a couple of good moments, but those were a few pieces of straw in a pile of needles.
At first, I enjoyed Gosling's dead-pan calm performance, but that wore thin quick. Chris Evans was just "be a highly energetic guy who really enjoys being an **** and has the license to do whatever.
" Terribly choreographed fight scenes, badly edited, bland cinematography, forgetful sound, and 99% terrible dialog, and a cookie-cutter version of a cookie-cutter story line. Wow. Never read the books, but even if they're good, I won't read them.
You'd think Netflix throwing a *massive* budget, with S-Tier staff all around, would make a decent movie. But someone dropped the ball, excepting a Fast and Furious level quality action film. Why not make a more down to Earth version of the Borne films, instead of a 'Machete' level version of the Borne films, that was also taken seriously? Skip it if you haven't watched it already.
