The russo brothers were on the top of the world after endgame. Their next project cherry left us disappointed. After cherry, their next project gray man was very much anticipated.
In terms of making, the gray man is very much in the lines of the winter soldier. The name of the location shown in capital letters reminds you of civil war. Story has nothing new to offer, screenplay is predictable, there are lot of action set pieces in which the plane sequence and prague shootout was impressive. The climax action sequence lacked the punch.
Coming to performances, its chris evans as the sociopathic Lloyd Hansen who carries the acting department on his shoulders. Looks like he had a blast playing this bad guy. Ryan gosling's job was to do action scenes well and he does it with ease. Ana de armas was not given proper chance to be badass. If you ask whether dhanush was used well or not then i would say yes and no. He's given two action scenes but to cast a two time national award winning actor for just two action scenes is not actually fair. If just for action, you could have cast vishal.
On the whole, if you loved winter soldier for its making and action scenes, then you may like gray man. But if you liked winter soldier for its plot and politics, then gray man would disappoint you.
