Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Based on this series of novels: The Gray Man (novel) - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 With the recent news about dipping subscriber numbers and lost revenue, will this be the last “blockbuster” Netflix original we see for a while? If they’re looking to hold onto subs, there has to be better ways of spending a quarter billion dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I've been looking forward to this one. The Russo Bros. are good when they have good screenplays to work with, and they've brought Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely from their 4 MCU films to adapt this series of novels, and that's when the Russo Bros. were best. Remember, their other three directed features, Welcome to Collinwood, You Me and Dupree, and the recent Cherry, are all pretty middling films, particularly compared to The Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame.

TwinIon Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Looks very generic, but could be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Looks fun. That hotel with the explosion looks like the same one they used for 'The Contentential' from John Wick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Well, Netflix's $200M blockbuster is out to middling reviews and almost certainly getting a sequel, anyone else watch it? I felt like the spectacle was there, but it was just so darn generic in nearly every other way. I couldn't help but feel like if this was a James Bond movie that people would like it better, but if it was a Bond film, at least the lead would have had to have been a bit more charismatic. I like Gosling, and I like his schtick in many films, but this one is so bombastic that I couldn't help but feel he should have been more animated. Chris Evans performance was much more fitting. An over-the-top, showy, nonsensical, character for a movie that could be described the same way. I don't think this movie is really bad, it just lacks the flair to match its bombast.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I can honestly say that I continue to have zero interest in this film considering the source material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah seems a lot of Bollywood / Tollywood movies have a minimum runtime of 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firewithin Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Evans was easily the best part. its always fun to see people who generally play the good guys be the bad guy. Ana De Armas was wasted in this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
