Fancy a whistle stop worldwide tour, from the USA to Thailand, via Azerbaijan, Turkey, the UK, Hong Kong, Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic before ending with a bloody and brutal hand to hand combat fight in a maze in the grounds of a Croatian mansion? How about another hand to hand combat fight within the tightly packed confines of the launching ground of a ginormous firework display lighting up a darkened Bangkok skyline? Or perhaps a mid-air fight for a parachute as a cargo aeroplane descends into a fiery inferno below? I know! A ridiculous gun fight on a tram speeding through Vienna or perhaps the escape of our hero from an underground dungeon as he fights for his life and from the clutches of the sociopathic assassin who simply can’t allow him to share the damning secrets that will ultimately damn not just him, but everyone in his world of black, off book, operations?

Throw in as many CIA Agents, contracted assassins and murderous clandestine operations as you can muster in amongst a bubbly soundtrack bookended by the beautiful “Silver Bird” by Mark Lindsay, a fractured and non-linear timeline helmed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War), captured brilliantly by the cinematography of Stephen Windon and edited frenetically and within an inch of it’s cinematic life by Jeff Groth and Pietro Scalia, and you have the quite wonderful and mightily impressive The Gray Man.
