simevo-20093 - 14 May 2024 A really fun movie Can I see where two HUNDRED M I L L I O N dollars was spent? Absolutely not, it's ridiculous.
That said I enjoyed Chris Evans playing against type (somewhat, I mean he's very pretty but his range is limited). I always enjoy Ryan, his action/comedy delivery is top notch and you root for him.
There's some good action sequences, some very good stunt work, it's paced well, and it's acted well.
Yes, it's a mishmash of all the actions film tropes/characters, but then so are almost all action films and we still lap them up.
Great 'switch off the brain' Friday night entertainment. Maybe they'll do another (cheaper hopefully) one.
TigerPanache - 6 April 2024 Excessive action, not enough story The first half was a pretty good action movie, with motivations that made sense and well-choreographed, creative action sequences. But then it got over-the-top, with massacres, tons of operatives being involved in the fights, bazookas blowing up vehicles, etc.. The only reason Ryan Gosling survived was plot armor. It ended up being rather ridiculous. And since the motivation for pursuing him was keeping certain underhanded goings-on under the radar, having everything made incredibly public ruined the logic of the characters' motivations, in my opinion. There were a lot of more logical ways characters could have handled situations; the movie prioritized what would make for the best action sequences over what actually made sense. The movie would have been better if they'd prioritized telling a good story over dramatic visuals.
Also, there's no way this should have a PG-13 rating. Hundreds of people die, there are graphic injuries and graphic torture scenes, and children in serious peril.
xkgbtzh - 5 February 2024 I wanted to love this movie soooo much. I love Ryan Gosling, and I love Chris Evans. They are both phenomenal actors. With that being said, Chris Evans is not the guy for this part. He's just too lovable. He could have been in Ryan Gosling's part! I wouldn't have wanted to see him go though, but then we wouldn't have had Evans! Argh.
This was a super fun, one man army type of movie. The characters (regardless of how charming either of them might be) were very well written. The attraction of having a bad guy that is also kinda "funny and alluring" is great. However, Evans was just too alluring and funny. Not his fault at all!!! It's just something that takes you away. I hate saying that someone is too good of an actor to take anything away from them. Like a heal in wrestling though, you can't make them a face and a heal at the same time. Even The Rock could barely pull that off for a half of a second in the WWE. And, yes, wrestling is definitely a dumbed down narrative, and the Rock couldn't shake a stick at Evans in the acting department. But, hopefully you see what I mean.
Action was awesome, settings were awesome, actors were so good. 7.25/10 too hot for your own goods.
nkishudak - 7 January 2023 The Russo brothers are out of control This is definitely the worst movie of 2022 and I wish I could get back the 2 hours I've spent on it. The locations were beautifully shot. Chris and Ryan are beautiful as always, so that's why I gave 2 stars :D Jokes aside; so many plot holes, so illogical and chaotic storyline. It's like watching 3 different movies at once. I've never seen such an unrealistic amount of police and SWAT presence in an action movie. 90% of the time the music wasn't on point. Note that I do enjoy some Asylum project movies sometimes for fun and they were all high above this one :D I cannot believe they want this to be a franchise.
Rschubert19 - 29 December 2022 Wish I could give this a negative 10 Horrible movie. Forget about a plot, backstory or character development of any kind. The actors spend the entire movie engaged in totally unrealistic hand to hand combat, shooting exchanges with machine guns and ridiculous car chases. The dialog sounds like it was written by Alexa. Main character is in close proximity to multiple major explosions, after which he walks away unruffled, without even a rip in his shirt. In reality, he would have had perforated eardrums, severe concussions and PTSD. Total waste of otherwise good actors. Don't waste your time. This movie is about as entertaining as brushing your teeth.
DD45 - 1 December 2022 Trouble amongst the rubble I wouldn't really describe this as a Ryan Gosling film, if you know what I mean. I'd say that it's one of those films of this type, and Ryan Gosling happens to be in it. The female characters may have more agency and more to do than the usual stereotypes, but still seem to be operating according to the rules of a man's world. And the film does appear to be expressing indifference to causing death and cultural destruction in foreign countries. The more I think about it, the less I like The Grey Man, but I'm sticking with my 6/10 score for two reasons: first, it's not a film you think about for very long and, second, the action set pieces are undeniably well done.
ronn214 - 15 November 2022 Just a run of the mill 'action' movie. You know how I can tell a so-called 'action' movie is bad? It's when the hero is unarmed and going up against 1/2 dozen or more armed bad guys and as he takes them on one by one, he never picks up a gun, he just goes to the next one unarmed.
This movie is a vanilla spy/action flick. Weak, terrible writing and terrible directing. I get really insulted when a dozen bad guys and professional mercenaries all armed with automatic weapons shoot collectively over 500 rounds at our hero...and miss. Then he of course picks them off one by one with a single shot.
This is one of those kinds of movies. Just a weak plot about crooked govt officials, double-crosses, hitmen, spies, and a lot of violence. If that floats your boat, fine, but this movie is bad from a filmmaking standpoint. But people who love a lot of stunts, explosions, and shooting, will love this. Not me.
emily-09212 - 4 November 2022 Brilliant Russos Again! This has to be one of the best action movie of the decade. Beautifully shot. Great acting all round. For an action movie... the story is very good. If your looking for a great movie you won't forgot, that is different from the rest - this is for you!
Ryan Gosling is brilliant in his role as Six, a Jason Bourne type operative who is on the run. Chris Evans plays a psychopath villain well.
This movie has some heart. And just makes sense. Definitely the best film I have seen for a long time
Fight scenes realistic and super choreographed.
It breaks the stereotypes most of spy thrillers have set in a extremely satisfying and subtle way.
