The Gray Man

Looking for a big, dumb, fun, action film? This year's "The Gray Man" with a reported 200 million dollar budget, is the James Bond-like, hail of bullets, over-the-top car chases, ridiculous ride you want to handcuff yourself to your couch for. The Plot, (like it matters) is about Six (Ryan Gosling) who was offered a get-out-of-prison deal (basically a "La Femme Nikita" ripoff) if he became a hitman for the CIA. Fast forward twenty years or so and Six has become a lethal machine. When his latest assignment turns out to be killing one of his own, things change. His target is carrying proof that the CIA is abusing it's power! What? No way? Who could be behind such abuses? Why it's Captain America with a moustache! (Chris Evans) Billy Bob Thornton play Six's CIA mentor and segregate father figure. When Bad Captain America captures him and his niece, Six has to rescue them and bring the information of abuse to light. It's all ridiculous but hey, I enjoyed myself. I only regret I didn't see it on the big screen. Catch this CIA agent on the run, on Netflix.
