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.

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.

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

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.

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

Boston Hassle

For myself, star performances and expensive grand sets are two non-negotiable ingredients of a blockbuster. The Russo brothers’ newest film has both. (And maybe it’s just a two-ingredient genre film, but that’s perfectly fine with me).

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

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.
