The Gray Man (2022)Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo"Hello my sexy Tamil friend."Apparently one of Netflix's most expensive productions, this was a highly anticipated movie from "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame" directors The Russo Brothers, and its script is also by those movies' writers. It has a nice cast too and I'm always one who likes action thrillers like this, so, despite the mixed reviews it's been getting, I was excited to watch it.I watched the movie last night and it was pretty decent, I did like it. I can see the reason for the mixed reviews — I found it strangely not as involving as it could have been, despite the stars and the filmmaking talent. Perhaps that's due to the script and dialogue (some of which sounded just off). Also, we have seen all of this before — shady government types send an assassin after one of their own, all of who are after a MacGuffin, so maybe that familiarity also worked against it.Usually in a movie of this type I'd appreciate the visuals but in this case I felt the murky cinematography actually did the movie a bit of a disservice (Stephen Windon is the DP for some of the "Fast and Furious" movies which are brightly lit, so the dark visuals here were by intent). Also there was this fake bokeh and shake which distracted from the action choreography. Dhanush thankfully appeared in more than one scene (he was only there in one shot in the trailer so I was worried that he would be in just one scene) but didn't have a major role.Having said all this I still liked the movie for its action which was entertaining, it had a relatively straightforward story which made it very easy to watch, and the way Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana De Armas owned their roles made it worthwhile for me. Now where is our crossover of this with "Extraction"?I drew Ryan as Sierra Six and Chris as the villainous Lloyd from the movie, it was done with 0.5 mm 4B pencil. You can swipe to see a scan (in which I tweaked the composition) and a few other related images.#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#thegrayman #netflix #chrisevans #ryangosling #dhanush#pencil #pencildrawing #pencilart#678 / 23-Jul-22
