“The Gray Man” wants to be “John Wick” and “The Bourne Identity” so badly but it fails to capture what made those films special.

Outside of some cool action sequences and fun performances from Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana De Armas, the film feels like an eternity, the sound design leaves a lot to be desired, and it’s so predictable that it’s hard to have fun with it at times.

Grade: 3/5
