Now Playing: The Gray Man
Streaming on Netflix
Netflix’s very own spy action flick is upon us. The Gray Man follows Six, played by Ryan Gosling, who is a CIA top agent. One mission sees him uncovering agency secrets which inevitably puts a target on his back. Going above board, the agency hires a private contractor played by Chris Evans to hunt him down.
Luckily, some members of GadgetMatch were able to watch an advance screening. Here you’ll find their quick thoughts on the movie.
“Incredibly self-aware dialogue”
Rodneil: If I’m being completely honest, I wasn’t really looking forward to watching the movie. Then, I checked the cast and saw Jessica Henwick and Ana de Armas. Sold. After actually watching the film, it makes you want (or want to be) Ryan Gosling’s Six (his character’s name).
Six is just, as Suzanne (Henwick) said towards the end of the movie, freakishly good at what he does. He’s the ultimate spy flick action man. Resourceful, slick, skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and like any main man in an action movie, incredible at using a handgun.
What elevates the movie, for me, is how incredibly self-aware the dialogue is. You will hear the characters quipping and making fun of action movie tropes without taking away from the overall tone of the movie. The humor here functions like a breather and doesn’t distract from the action and drama of the film.
Overall, it’s an enjoyable movie. Watch with your lover.
“Reminded me why I like action films”
MJ: The Gray Man sort of reminded me why I like action films. The unexpected twists and turns; inescapable moments where you clench your fists in excitement. It’s like the moment in amusement parks where you take those thrilling rides, enjoying all the way up to the top and then you suddenly fall. It was thrilling; adrenaline filled my body.
Aside from adrenaline, I felt intense passion for Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas. They were great in their roles, and they made you feel invested in the story.
The kickass scenes kept me on my toes, bedazzling me in almost every scene. It’s something I’d probably watch over and over again, like Legally Blonde.
“I was literally clenching my fist”
Apple: Unlike Rodneil, I must admit I was really waiting for this film, like I watched all the teasers and trailers of it. Because come on, why wouldn’t I when you have Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans together, right?
I expected ‘hot scenes’ (well there were some but I won’t spoil you) but what I really didn’t expect were literally hot scenes – bloody, explosive, fast and furious scenes that were just heart-stopping. I was literally clenching my fist almost the whole time and I loved every minute of it. Definitely my kind of action film.
Oh and also for Bridgerton fans, which is also on Netflix, you also get a taste of Regé-Jean Page in a suit here. So, I think I’ve said enough to make you see the film. Watch it, you’ll thank me for it.
“Powerhouse cast, Gosling is cool AF, but Evans steals the show”
Andre: To me, it was like John Wick meets Jason Bourne. It’s probably not too unfamiliar plot wise but the action was really intense. Numerous times, I found myself grabbing on the seat cringing with every demonstration of pain on screen but then lots of times I was laughing at their antics. Plus there were just so many creative ways of taking down the baddies.
Powerhouse cast, Gosling is cool AF, but Evans steals the show with that annoying attitude and ‘stache.
They’re really fun to watch and I still haven’t gotten over the action that I’ll likely be watching again on Netflix.
The Gray Man streams on Netflix starting July 22.

1st teaser trailer, details for Death Stranding Isolations series unveiled
Animated series to debut on Hulu on Disney Plus
A new teaser trailer for the upcoming Death Stranding Isolations series on Hulu on Disney+ has been revealed.
The upcoming animated series is set to debut in 2027. It is set in the world of Death Stranding immediately after the game’s protagonist Sam reconnects the continent of North America via the Chiral Network.
The series will tell a completely new story separate from that of the video games. The narrative will focus on a young man and woman as they set off on an adventure.
As America is reborn from the ashes, the renewed connections that bind it together bring about new and unforeseen consequences.
In this tumultuous new landscape, there are some who walk a different path to the one chosen by Sam and his Bridges comrades.
One is a wise old man who connects people through a method that defies all reckoning. There is also a female soldier ensnared in a cycle of war and destruction.
Moreover, there is a boy who seethes with rage at the absurdity of his life, and a girl who chose to sever all ties with the outside world. Fate has other plans for her, however, and chance encounters see her launched headfirst into a world she does not recognize.
Death Stranding Isolations is written by Tow Ubukata (Activator, Bone Ash, Project Darkness) and directed by Takayuki Sano (Jujutsu Kaisen 0 – The Movie, Attack on Titan The Final Season).
The series is animated by E&H production (NINJA KAMUI, BULLET/BULLET, the Magic Knight Rayearth Television series 2026) with original character design by Ilya Kuvshinov (Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, The Wonderland).
The series is executive produced by Hideo Kojima and produced by KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS.
