The Gray Man (2022)
7/10
Too much action. Needs more intellectual stimulation.
26 December 2022
Good movie with good acting and interesting locations, but too much reliance on bang and boom action. It would be better if one or two of the endless gunfire scenes could be replaced with some clever discoveries or dialogue. Almost forgot - the repartee between the Ryan Gosling and Julia Butters is great. Coulda used more of that.

Early on I sensed the potential for a movie series similar to James Bond, but perhaps closer to Derek Flint. That might happen, but I'm probably gonna be disappointed because there wasn't much Derek Flint in this one.

Woulda been nice if they had replaced some of the explosions with explanations, or even deeper backstory. But they didn't. Still, it's worth watching. Maybe there'll be a better sequel.
