I loved Evans in this role and wouldn’t hate seeing more like this out of him.

He played Lloyd, a sleazy scumbag of a villain, which Evans perfected because it looked like he was having the time of his life in the part. Claire was played by Julia Butters, who is most recently known for her role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, where she was lights out opposite Leonardo DiCaprio.Īnother highlight from the movie was Chris Evans. Six and Claire’s relationship is the film’s sole emotional sweet spot for me in the movie. What I loved the most about him in the role of Six is that he was the most uncharismatic protagonist ever, yet you get so much charm out of the part. Gosling can elevate his character in a way that, no matter the film, you are invested in his arc. It never goes full-blown trash blockbuster which is sad because it would’ve been better.Īlright, I did like some things from the movie, and I’ll start with Ryan Gosling. No matter how hard The Russo Brothers try, you never feel connected to anyone’s arc in the film, which is fine, but they wanted to make you care and failed. While not very clever, The Gray Man on Netflix is a fun movieīack to the script, the flashbacks are okay, but honestly could’ve done without them because it made our journey slightly more messy than I liked. the $200 million for The Gray Man, and Ambulance is top to bottom a far better film. The movie with that perfect blend of script and action, but what’s even crazier is the budget for Ambulance was $40 million vs. But Bay recently reminded us he is the king of Actions films with Ambulance. Now Bay has had a history of ups and downs within the Action movie space. If you put 50 people in a theater and played The Gray Man and didn’t tell them who made it, I would be willing to bet 80% would say Michael Bay. Unfortunately, the one thing you CAN’T do is attempt to do the latter without great foundation, and that’s where The Russo Brothers got this entire film wrong. Or, you can give the film some heart with a great foundation and sprinkle the razzle-dazzle throughout. First, you can go full-blown trash blockbuster with just non-stop razzle-dazzle for two straight hours with a script that doesn’t make sense. You have two routes you can go with an action movie of this caliber. So, the real question is, where did it go wrong? Well, the film’s script is a complete mess. Where do I start? You have a massive budget, huge movie stars, and a duo directing the film that has juggled both well in past projects.
