The Gray Man (2022)
7/10
In that gray area between decent and good
20 September 2022
Pro: Solid casting and acting.

Tight direction, sound, editing and cinematography.

Relatively tight screenplay and dialog.

Consistently avoids most tropes and stereotypes.

Interesting plot.

Sufficient character development (just barely).

Admirable diversity of characters and the actors playing them.

Con:

The tropes and stereotypes it does employ are very noticeable and tiresome.

Unintentionally (I hope) ironic moral narrative.

Mission: Impossible/Fast & Furious level strain on credulity for stunts.

As a genre example, contains few, if any, nuances or unique qualities.

Wounds and injuries are cartoonishly effective or ineffective.

Shamelessly and undeservedly sets up a potential franchise.
