Critics Consensus
The Gray Man has the star-studded outline of an entertaining action thriller, but it's filled in with lukewarm leftovers from far better films.
Audience Says
Add this one to your queue with confidence, action fans: The Gray Man has a great cast, exciting set pieces, and a solid story.
Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's like somebody rabbit-punching your brain for the best part of two hours, and there's a certain enjoyability in that. Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Tom Shone Times (UK) Throw the Bourne, Bond, Mission: Impossible and Fast and Furious franchises into a blender... and — voilà — you might end up with a film like The Gray Man; you’ll forget it the moment you stop watching it. Rated: 3/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Adam Kempenaar Filmspotting The most glam dad-enjoys-while-folding-laundry movie ever. Rated: 3/5 Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab iNews.co.uk Nonetheless, in its own fast and furious way, the film is cleverly constructed – a modern-day equivalent to one of those old matinee adventures in which Douglas Fairbanks would play swashbuckling pirates taking on the world. Rated: 4/5 Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Martin Carr martincarr.co.uk The Gray Man may feel 15 minutes too long, but there is still much to enjoy. Chris Evans is having a ball, Ryan Gosling cements his reputation as an action star in waiting, while Ana de Armas matches her co-stars in the arse kicking stakes. Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Nadya Martinez Otakus & Geeks While the adrenaline-filled film boasts an all-star cast, top-notch camera-work and impressive stunt work, it lacks in character development and story giving us concepts we’ve seen over and over. Rated: 7/10 Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
Jimmy A Very exhilarating and awesome action sequences! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/22 Full Review Beth Lots of action and suspense. Ryan Reynolds great smooth operator. Chris Pine hilarious. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/22 Full Review JBrew This movie was full of action and explosions/violence! It kept us on the edge of our seats because there was a serious plot involved! I must say the amount of a major player getting his butt kicked & STILL able to keep going was well...A MOVIE & ENTERTAINING This was a night we did NOT want serious OR, to make sense COMPLETELY. We did enjoy the ACTION & OUTRAGEOUS explosions/crashes etc. We were NOT bored OR, grossed out in any way. We would recommend this movie to those who enjoy action/adventure & VIOLENCE. Again, it IS NOT gory though! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/22 Full Review greg c I don't know if I am more angry that it is a horrendous book adaptation or that it was a phenomenal action movie. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and was completely entertained. However I was also seething the entire time thinking about why they can't just use the source material that is excellent instead of just borrowing some names from it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/28/22 Full Review Bonita M liked suspense and the characters Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/22 Full Review Tara It had a good story, but alot of shooting and killing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/22 Full Review Read all reviews
