The Gray Man: Russo Brothers' Action Thriller Hits Netflix

The Gray Man, directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, is an action thriller based on Mark Greaney's bestseller, released in select theaters and on Netflix on July 22, 2022. The film stars Ryan Gosling as Court Gentry (Sierra Six), a CIA agent turned target of a global manhunt led by former colleague Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), with Ana de Armas as agent Dani Miranda. The Russos drew inspiration from 1970s thrillers like The French Connection, aiming for relentless energy and humor. A key action sequence set in Prague involved multiple tram versions: a real tram on rails, a bus modified to look like a tram, and a stationary replica that shakes. Despite high-octane entertainment, the film received mixed reviews, with critics noting it fails to leave a lasting impression beyond the Prague tram scene.
