Check out the trailer for The Gray Man below:

A five out of 10 review fromIGN’s Siddhant Adlakha couldn’t get over the “impression of much better action films” that had come before. Adding that: “while it eventually becomes watchable, it spends most of its runtime being visually and emotionally indecipherable”. Next to this, Nicholas Barber of theBBCconcurred with the verdicts in a two-star review, explaining that: “The Gray Man borrows from a slew of secret agent thrillers, but doesn’t match them in quality”.

Writing forEmpire, John Nugent was more kind to the film saying that the Russo brothers “return to blockbuster cinema in fine fettle with this assured, energetic, consistently compelling caper”. He awarded the movie four stars.
