Kudos to Chris Evans and his acting skills. He did a Grade-A job portraying one of the greatest heroes of all time, but he's A+ playing a complete douchebag (here and also Knives Out).
I'm almost certain Chris Evans is trying to wash away the captain America typecast by playing each and every douchebag available, and he's doing a fantastic job.
He has played asshole douchebags for a while now, I feel like he has almost been typecast as one rather than as your normal good guy hero. Hell, even as Human Torch he was a douche beause, well Johnny is a douche
I love Ana's fight scenes. They felt realistic. Everyone she fought wasn't immediately dumbed down. The ways she was thrown around were perfect. It shows how men are stronger than her but she uses other ways to win. There was a movie where it was about badass women against dumber men that forgot they were stronger and heavier than them. It made no sense.
Totally agree! it’s so unrealistic when they have a small skinny woman with not much muscle be able to overpower and beat 4 huge muscular guys in a hand to hand fight. Like why is it that to make the female lead a strong badass character it’s by making the guys weak & dumb? The movie Atomic blonde was awesome, had her get her ass beat just as bad with her body & face a mess at the end with fights where she really struggled instead of making all the fights easy for her and walking away without even a scratch. It was more realistic and stuff then other movies like Charlie angels! lol
i really like Chris Evans character in this movie, it reminds me of the one he plays in Knives Out. Evans is really good at playing a cocky, whiney, asshole and I love it also, unrelated, but I'm disappointed you didn't include my favorite line after Six got shot by Suzanne: "Can I comply over there..?"
Some fun facts about the movie: Most of it was shot either at Prague (Prague, the funeral in Azerbaijain, Vienna railway station, Berlin, Thai new year etc.), France (Croatian castle) or LA/ studio. You can even see the statue of Žižka in the background, who is our national hero, it's hilarious that they left it in. Funniest part though is, when they in "Vienna" and say they need to go to Prague, but actually they're in Prague already, lol. I was there during the shooting of the funeral scene as an extra, it was shot in the biggest heat possible, very interesting experience. We had to wear all black (because funeral, duh) plus coats or something over it, because it was supposed to take place in spring for no apparent reason whatsoever. People were fainting from the heat, it was really uncomfortable. Got to see Billy Bob Thorton and Chris Evans though, so that was fun! Billy Bob was very kind, they were cooling him down because of the heat and he refused and gave the cooling system to the extras. Chris was cool, I got to walk past him multiple times as he was sitting on that wall sucking on a lollypop (the poor guy sucked on at least 20 different lollypops during that scene, he got a new one for each shot, ,lol). I also got to shoot part of that tram chase action scene (the ending to be precise). It's hilarious to see in the movie how they make it look like it's all Ryan Gosling, when in reality, all he did was shoot the short part when he gets in to the car with Ana de Armas at the end, everything else was stuntmen (he has four of them btw, for each thing a different one). Just thought I'd share some fun facts with y'all, it feels so good to be finally able to talk about this movie!

Having finally watched the movie I'd love to add that the reason six handles Loyd in their fight at the end despite lord's confidence is because Loyd couldn't handle the pain. He keeps getting distracted by his wounds meanwhile six fight through multiple stab wounds to choke Loyd out. It's a callback to the lesson his abusive father taught him.
That is part of it, but prior to the knife coming out, Lloyd wasn't landing ANY effectual blows. He simply was not as skilled as Six, and definitely not as dangerous as Lone Wolf.
@@lordsergal8783 Yah in the straight fist fight Six mad him look like a little kid lmao. I found that bit refreshing in an action movie. The main villians lackey was more impressive than the main villian.

This was just a lot of fun for a home movie . My god is there a lot of drone shots but the action is solid and the cast is great. Chris Evans mustache is almost Cavil level.
This movie is very much vague plot to next action piece but it's done so well I don't even care. I've seen it 3 times at this point and I've enjoyed it each time. I love how clearly Evans is having a blast being the worst, unhinged sociopath, Gosling is more funny than I would expect for this type of movie, and I'll watch Ana de Armas in anything but she really does kill it here and I just want to see her in more action because I buy it. Can't wait for the sequel! If they are all as crazy as this it'll be a good time.

Cool I got a lot of good sniper kills in that map Also the first time I actually got good at using the personal tank and got a good killing streak with it
I am glad you pointed out that he drove 450 miles on a Tuk-tuk. I had lived in Thailand for years, and that scene made me chuckle so much. You simply cannot drive a Tuk-tuk from Bangkok to Chiangmai in reality.
Chris Evans in this reminds me of him in the film "The Losers". Specifically how quick witted and sharp his tounge is. Also, the willingness to just be a bonkers character is just perfect!
Also loved the indirect characterization of Six during the opening sequence! When he notices the kid in the room, his finger immediately moves away from the trigger
Chris Evans looks like he's having so much fun in this movie. it's nice to see him switch it up to an absolutely insane bad guy. but...he'll always be Captain America to me ❤️
I legit think after so long playing Cap, people forgot how much range Evans has. Between that, Johny Storm, Storm Piercer, Knives Out - the guy is amazing. ...also, for the love of all that is Gosling, please do Good Guys
It's Snowpiercer actually and I do not think anybody forgot how versatile Evans is, the two most popular character he played was Cap and Human Torch (I'd add Ransom to that because it was a pretty profitable role, even more so than his Johnny Storm depiction) which are contrasting characters by miles to say the least. In fact, he was a controversial pick to play Cap but he still subverted people's expectations.
@@perce1veALL Sorry. I meant Snowpiercer. Was thinking Johny Storm and was tired XD Also people tend to forget he was Casey Jones in the animated TMNT! Between those and Scott Pilgram, the guy showed amazing range just on comics movies alone.
This whole movie was fantastic. Had my attention the entire time and the "Silver Bird" fight and Six taking Claire to the hospital were fantastic scenes.
You can see it in his face, he's having the time of his life. He's probably excited to be playing a total bad dude rather than the righteous Captain America.
@@naturalone6529 Nah, it's just Lloyd is suppose to be flamboyant, an efoortless sociopath without any remorse. So he is always smiling in the serious situations because he wants the people he uses as leverage to know that he does not care one ounce about them. He already played a villain in Knives Out, much contrasting to this one. Ofc an actor can have fun but this is more in character.
10:55 he answers that question in that exact way you do when you technically have an answer but you know for sure it wont help at all and it struck a chord in a deep part of my soul
Biggest thing I took from this film was Evans transition to the "bad guy" role. This is a film to transition into his range. I love this movie. Looking forward to seeing more of this universe.
Hey, just wanna say thank you for continuing to post. You're videos are always a joy to watch and I really appreciate that you fill the internet with positivity. It could always use more of that. Really, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, thank you.
I really enjoyed this movie it's funny the whole time I was saying is it just me or does cris evens seem like he's having a blast he genuinely seems like he's super enjoying playing loyd
This is the second movie where I saw Chris Evans as the villain after Knives out. He nailed the villain role in both of the movies. And I didn't even know Ryan Gosling exists before watching this movie and I loved Dhanush's badass role.
Finny, I had no idea who Dhanush is while considering Ryan Gosling to be a mega star. Seriously, have you never watched Drive? The Notebook? La La Land? Blade Runner 2049?
@@djmindcrasher lol why do americans/ hollywood fanatics think everyone in the world watches or knows everything about hollywoood. just like you havent seen massive great movies from india or other counties same way he wouldnt have watched hollywood movies. india is vast and produces more movies than hollywood so ppl have a lot of content around them to look at. but this might not be the case for australia germany etc. i think its nice that netflix makes these movies so people from different parts of the worls get to watch content from around the world. they chose dhanush as he is popular in india and is used as a tool for promoting the movie in india.
@@djmindcrasher Ryan is far from a mega star, he is only recognised in indie films and such films are barely well received (don't get me wrong, critics liked them but the movie still did so bad at the box office) due to their niche nature. I've watched all of his films but he'd be considered underrated, not really a mega star status yet. The ONLY mega star in the film was Chris Evans (one of Hollywood's most paid actors annually, he has the highest net worth out of all the Gray Man cast, he is top 2 most in demand actor of this generation and one of the most bankable actors), the others just aren't as known internationally and haven't had a big break yet. Ryan will probably have his big break in the new Barbie movie but he will still not be as popular as Evans since the Captain America role incomparably catapulted Evans' fame. You had no idea who Dhanush is because his popularity is limited by demographics, mainly Indians/South Indians know about him.
I just watched this film and enjoyed it... Gosling and Evans have the best energy against each other. One thing I did notice was the composer, Henry Jackman, seemed to pull some inspiration from Zimmer's 'Gotham's Reckoning'. I had to go back and listen to the actual track a couple of times (it's called 'Bangkok') to make sure I wasn't hearing things, but yeah... it's there.
The fact that he drove from Bangkok to Chiang mai in a Tuk-tuk from “ฉะเชิงเทรา”(as stated on its license plate) which is even further away. He REALLY is special.
YES I've been waiting for this. It is pure fun and action. I wasn't expecting some cinematic masterpiece going into this movie; it's two fun actors in a movie directed by two fun directors. In fact, I was surprised by some storylines they managed to create by the end of it.
Did...did Lee just encourage his entire subscriber base to go steal a bunch of movies? Also I love this channel so damn much. Life’s been rough lately but CW always, always provides a shot of relentless, unyielding positivity whenever I need it. And I’m glad I finally found someone else who shares my adoration of this film. Keep em coming, I’ll keep watching.
@@TurinAlexander oh I’m not disagreeing with the notion. When I was younger I did my fair share of sailing the high seas, so to speak, and if it’s a case of making pieces of art that people have spent tons of time, effort, and heart putting together unavailable, well…
Didn't he also say that Netflix movies often get released on Blu Ray? Do you happen to know what he's talking about? I've only seen a couple of Netflix movies that have gotten the Blu Ray treatment and all of those were Criterion.
Yeah, this movie was right up my alley, had a lot of fun and, while I can agree with the criticism it has received since release, I still think it's worth watching and among the most outstanding Netflix productions so far.
I genuinly missed the fact that she reads the text backwards of his glasses and so knows Six was in Vienna. And its a testement to how entertaining this movie is that I was enjoying myself too much to care XD
I really enjoyed this movie. The banter was delicious. I do believe I prefer Chris Evans as a bad dude, which is something after enjoying America's ass on screen!
@@stopthecap6913 Yeah but Lloyd still wears his loveable psychotic tendencies on his sleeve and it's just kinda weird to think that big CIA man chooses not to notice. It's a bit of a non-issue but out of all the things complainy people will point out, this was the only one that stuck with me lol
@@sorryshiina6264 True, countering oversights is where Carmichael would be more prone towards but you have to realize, the only covert division he had were Sierras and they were not to be trusted due to them being compromised, Carmichael was solely going by trust on this one and he was right, Sierra Six should not have been deployed for the initial mission to begin with as he was morally dubious. Lloyd is a bit on the end all, be all side, he had no nuance when it comes to doing his job but he still gets the job done as he does not let his conscience drive him. So, choice is either somebody he personally knows who has "psychotic tendencies" that still gets the job done (Lloyd) or ghosts with competence that asks too many questions and compromises his own agenda (Sierras). Yeah, Carmichael could have chosen anybody else but nobody else he trusts, additionally he did send Suzanne to keep Lloyd in check but she did a bad job, so technically it's her fault all along for being inadequate and not that of Carmichael. Also, don't get me wrong but Carmichael did acknowledge every I just said, even the fact that Lloyd is a sociopath, he did not bluntly say it but he never denied Suzanne's red flags about Lloyd. It's irrelevant though because Evans' character in the books is very different, he is more subtle and less of a field operative, he also works for CIA instead of his own organisation. He was still a psychopath, just more conducive to the shadows and he used to work with Six. The plot in the books made much more sense, I feel like many of the characters were changed just to fit the quantitative (instead of qualitative) formulae because it appeals to Netflix's audience more. The Russos butchered the novel.
He didn't hate them for being criminals--he hated them for not being *his* criminals, and for being better than he is (in general) despite their humble beginnings. Lloyd is a fellow Harvard man (has enough "worth"), and is a "friend" (to whatever degree either of those sociopaths are capable of friendship) who is just as invested in recovering the data (as he's included in the footage) and won't hesitate to kill Six (Lloyd likes killing and will enjoy the process of taking down someone with "street cred"). Carmichael is a first class controlling douchebag snob. Hiring Lloyd over Sierra both satisfies his vanity, and reassures his worry about an agent having any pesky morals.
I liked this film. I think Chris Evans is highly underrated in comedy he did start out with not another teen movie. I see some of his ego based character in this the same feel as his character in not a another teen movie but he kills people. Same timing, same egocentric ahole. He just added some edge to it and made it not so silly. Not another teen was a parody Afterall but I would love to see Evans in a purely comedic role again. The only issue I had with this film was on my laptop and smart phone it is so dark in the night time scenes I couldn't see what was happening. Which sucks because it's some of the best action. I messed about with the settings and stuff but I think the encoding for android devices is a bit messed up causing overly dark scenes. Its happened on a few Netflix films actually. Which is a shame
I feel like Chris Evans is now just Unhinged after Captain America and has too much fun playing Villains now. Knives Out and The Grey Man is just pure examples.
How do we not get a win that when six walks into Claire’s room at the very end is the first time we see him in all white? Like he’s shed the “Gray” part of his name and is more of a good guy??
Having read the books, I found it very hard to like this movie. I didn't realise it was practically an action-comedy when watching it. While some of the action was good, the editing wasn't the best and some scenes are clearly sped up in post which I felt undermined them. What I really found was that I neither cared for the characters and that the story was (SPOILER) basically a cut down version of Commando, a superior film. With the story and character development, perhaps this should have been a series rather than a film. The 200 million budget is about 150 million more than what this movie had any right to cost especially consider the CGI was not first rate. Nice Kittridge callout :D Thank you nonetheless for a good go through on this. Your channel is one of my favourites.
you know; watching this for like the 12th time I'm pretty sure the entire reason her name is Suzanne is because of how funny a line "I got shot in the ass, Suzanne" is
@@perce1veALLBecause I've read Watchmen, understood the tone and character, seen the film, seen more than one of Evans' films and I'm not blind, deaf or dumb. A better question would be: how could you not know?
Another great detail during the plane scene where they had that wordless conversation, the guy at the desk grabs a gun, but the clearly more experienced leader advises against it and opts for a knife instead because unlike what most games and movies have led you to believe, shooting inside a plane is a BIG no-no.
You again forgot a epic scene. This time the one where Suzanne tells how much unsuccessful their mission was and saying this gig will be taught to students about how not to screw up. And Lloyd response is "WHAT I DO CAN'T BE TAUGHT" ... Atleast 10 wins right there..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think alot of Lloyd's mannerisms are taken from John Travolta in Face Off, the way he holds his gun near his groin and the finger extended over the trigger.
I think they nailed the writing. A lot of time, movies seem to - even unintentionally - give their male and female leads romantic chemistry. I think it is a result of the density of the text - of the fact you have to have good, efficient, effective dialogue and immediacy in a movie like this. And yet, I really do get the best vibe from de Armas and Gosling. They're buds. And I loved de Armas's character and her embodiment of that. Totally makes the movie that much better. And similar props to Henwick, who I have loved in everything I have seen her in, and reminds me of some of my own best friends in the best way.
The absurdity is part of the fun of the movie. I absolutely loved it. I didn’t know about it til a couple months ago and I think I watched it like 5 times in a span of a couple weeks. Excellent movie. Can’t wait for the other ones.
19:27 I feel like he wasn’t talking about the actual morals of it, but how badly the op was botched and how much damage it would do to their reputation with other clandestine agencies.
I know that others didn't like this movie that much but I loved it. The killing scene at the start of the movie (the firework place) where he kills bunch of security guards is so awesome
The Gray Man is loosely based off of a book of the same name. I'm currently reading it (after watching the movie). Some of the characters are in both, but the plot is different.
yea the book and the movie are way different the book is better. Don't know why they changed so much from the book version other then it must have been just to fill some quota or something for strong female character or something since in the book the chick that helped him the whole time did not exist in the book.

Chris Evans in this reminds me of him in the film "The Losers". Specifically how quick witted and sharp his tounge is. Also, the willingness to just be a bonkers character is just perfect!
his humour was top-notch in that movie!
I just discovered this movie by accident this week! Chris looks like he's having such a blast with it. Thanks for reviewing it, Leigh!
Also loved the indirect characterization of Six during the opening sequence! When he notices the kid in the room, his finger immediately moves away from the trigger
"let's see if these moves fuck" was definitely my favourite part of this movie. Swag line if I ever heard one.
That grunt montage was delightful.
I love Chris Evans as a douchebag villain. Never watched a lot of Ryan Gosling’s work but I love him in this! Good entertaining movie!
If you haven't already, watch "The Nice Guys". Gos's character is funny af (complete opposite in usefulness though) and it's a great movie
Chris Evans looks like he's having so much fun in this movie. it's nice to see him switch it up to an absolutely insane bad guy. but...he'll always be Captain America to me ❤️
I legit think after so long playing Cap, people forgot how much range Evans has. Between that, Johny Storm, Storm Piercer, Knives Out - the guy is amazing.
...also, for the love of all that is Gosling, please do Good Guys
It's Snowpiercer actually and I do not think anybody forgot how versatile Evans is, the two most popular character he played was Cap and Human Torch (I'd add Ransom to that because it was a pretty profitable role, even more so than his Johnny Storm depiction) which are contrasting characters by miles to say the least. In fact, he was a controversial pick to play Cap but he still subverted people's expectations.
@@perce1veALL Sorry. I meant Snowpiercer. Was thinking Johny Storm and was tired XD
Also people tend to forget he was Casey Jones in the animated TMNT! Between those and Scott Pilgram, the guy showed amazing range just on comics movies alone.
Oh yeah, I would 100% be on board for the Good guys.
This whole movie was fantastic. Had my attention the entire time and the "Silver Bird" fight and Six taking Claire to the hospital were fantastic scenes.
Chris Evans is so good at playing a bad guy
You can see it in his face, he's having the time of his life. He's probably excited to be playing a total bad dude rather than the righteous Captain America.
@@naturalone6529 Nah, it's just Lloyd is suppose to be flamboyant, an efoortless sociopath without any remorse. So he is always smiling in the serious situations because he wants the people he uses as leverage to know that he does not care one ounce about them. He already played a villain in Knives Out, much contrasting to this one. Ofc an actor can have fun but this is more in character.
10:55 he answers that question in that exact way you do when you technically have an answer but you know for sure it wont help at all and it struck a chord in a deep part of my soul
Biggest thing I took from this film was Evans transition to the "bad guy" role. This is a film to transition into his range. I love this movie. Looking forward to seeing more of this universe.
He played villain characters and douchebags before marvel
@@elijahstark3663 Doesn't mean those roles wouldn't have been buried by his Cap career.
Lloyd was so fun to watch, it was actually sad to see him go
It can't just be me who LOVES Lone Wolf right
Hey, just wanna say thank you for continuing to post. You're videos are always a joy to watch and I really appreciate that you fill the internet with positivity. It could always use more of that. Really, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, thank you.
I really enjoyed this movie it's funny the whole time I was saying is it just me or does cris evens seem like he's having a blast he genuinely seems like he's super enjoying playing loyd
This is the second movie where I saw Chris Evans as the villain after Knives out. He nailed the villain role in both of the movies.
And I didn't even know Ryan Gosling exists before watching this movie and I loved Dhanush's badass role.
Finny, I had no idea who Dhanush is while considering Ryan Gosling to be a mega star. Seriously, have you never watched Drive? The Notebook? La La Land? Blade Runner 2049?
@@djmindcrasher nope
@@djmindcrasher lol why do americans/ hollywood fanatics think everyone in the world watches or knows everything about hollywoood. just like you havent seen massive great movies from india or other counties same way he wouldnt have watched hollywood movies. india is vast and produces more movies than hollywood so ppl have a lot of content around them to look at. but this might not be the case for australia germany etc. i think its nice that netflix makes these movies so people from different parts of the worls get to watch content from around the world. they chose dhanush as he is popular in india and is used as a tool for promoting the movie in india.
Blade Runner 2049 has Ryan Gosling acting in a similar way in The Gray Man, just no humor.
@@djmindcrasher Ryan is far from a mega star, he is only recognised in indie films and such films are barely well received (don't get me wrong, critics liked them but the movie still did so bad at the box office) due to their niche nature. I've watched all of his films but he'd be considered underrated, not really a mega star status yet.
The ONLY mega star in the film was Chris Evans (one of Hollywood's most paid actors annually, he has the highest net worth out of all the Gray Man cast, he is top 2 most in demand actor of this generation and one of the most bankable actors), the others just aren't as known internationally and haven't had a big break yet.
Ryan will probably have his big break in the new Barbie movie but he will still not be as popular as Evans since the Captain America role incomparably catapulted Evans' fame. You had no idea who Dhanush is because his popularity is limited by demographics, mainly Indians/South Indians know about him.
I legit thought they were going to reveal Lloyd as Six's brother lol
At the very least, his father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.
I just watched this film and enjoyed it... Gosling and Evans have the best energy against each other.
One thing I did notice was the composer, Henry Jackman, seemed to pull some inspiration from Zimmer's 'Gotham's Reckoning'.
I had to go back and listen to the actual track a couple of times (it's called 'Bangkok') to make sure I wasn't hearing things, but yeah... it's there.
The fact that he drove from Bangkok to Chiang mai in a Tuk-tuk from “ฉะเชิงเทรา”(as stated on its license plate) which is even further away. He REALLY is special.
YES I've been waiting for this. It is pure fun and action. I wasn't expecting some cinematic masterpiece going into this movie; it's two fun actors in a movie directed by two fun directors. In fact, I was surprised by some storylines they managed to create by the end of it.
Did...did Lee just encourage his entire subscriber base to go steal a bunch of movies?
Also I love this channel so damn much. Life’s been rough lately but CW always, always provides a shot of relentless, unyielding positivity whenever I need it. And I’m glad I finally found someone else who shares my adoration of this film. Keep em coming, I’ll keep watching.
If they have no interest in selling them, why let them go to waste?
@@TurinAlexander oh I’m not disagreeing with the notion. When I was younger I did my fair share of sailing the high seas, so to speak, and if it’s a case of making pieces of art that people have spent tons of time, effort, and heart putting together unavailable, well…
Didn't he also say that Netflix movies often get released on Blu Ray? Do you happen to know what he's talking about? I've only seen a couple of Netflix movies that have gotten the Blu Ray treatment and all of those were Criterion.
@@novemberbravo6194 Pro-tip: Just use your work's network with a throwaway laptop!
The banter between the main characters were the best part of the movie.
Glad we get some recognition for the Gosling Grunts, they were *s o* good in The Nice Guys as well lol
Yeah, this movie was right up my alley, had a lot of fun and, while I can agree with the criticism it has received since release, I still think it's worth watching and among the most outstanding Netflix productions so far.
I genuinly missed the fact that she reads the text backwards of his glasses and so knows Six was in Vienna. And its a testement to how entertaining this movie is that I was enjoying myself too much to care XD
I feel like just a compilation of sixes grunts would give a pretty good feel for the entire movie
Nothing like talking about Lloyds fit and then RUclips cutting to a Leinenkugel add. Nothing more fitting
I really enjoyed this movie. The banter was delicious. I do believe I prefer Chris Evans as a bad dude, which is something after enjoying America's ass on screen!
I just realized that Lloyd was inspired by Otto from A Fish Called Wanda.
Good grief, you’re right. He just needs a late-80s trenchcoat…
Fun fact some MREs have skittles which is where I'm assuming 6 got his during that call with Lloyd
It'll always be weird how Denny hates the Sierra agents for being criminals and then happily trusts Lloyd with such an important job.
Lloyd and Carmichael are Harvard besties.
@@stopthecap6913 Yeah but Lloyd still wears his loveable psychotic tendencies on his sleeve and it's just kinda weird to think that big CIA man chooses not to notice.
It's a bit of a non-issue but out of all the things complainy people will point out, this was the only one that stuck with me lol
@@sorryshiina6264 True, countering oversights is where Carmichael would be more prone towards but you have to realize, the only covert division he had were Sierras and they were not to be trusted due to them being compromised, Carmichael was solely going by trust on this one and he was right, Sierra Six should not have been deployed for the initial mission to begin with as he was morally dubious. Lloyd is a bit on the end all, be all side, he had no nuance when it comes to doing his job but he still gets the job done as he does not let his conscience drive him. So, choice is either somebody he personally knows who has "psychotic tendencies" that still gets the job done (Lloyd) or ghosts with competence that asks too many questions and compromises his own agenda (Sierras). Yeah, Carmichael could have chosen anybody else but nobody else he trusts, additionally he did send Suzanne to keep Lloyd in check but she did a bad job, so technically it's her fault all along for being inadequate and not that of Carmichael. Also, don't get me wrong but Carmichael did acknowledge every I just said, even the fact that Lloyd is a sociopath, he did not bluntly say it but he never denied Suzanne's red flags about Lloyd.
It's irrelevant though because Evans' character in the books is very different, he is more subtle and less of a field operative, he also works for CIA instead of his own organisation. He was still a psychopath, just more conducive to the shadows and he used to work with Six. The plot in the books made much more sense, I feel like many of the characters were changed just to fit the quantitative (instead of qualitative) formulae because it appeals to Netflix's audience more. The Russos butchered the novel.
He didn't hate them for being criminals--he hated them for not being *his* criminals, and for being better than he is (in general) despite their humble beginnings.
Lloyd is a fellow Harvard man (has enough "worth"), and is a "friend" (to whatever degree either of those sociopaths are capable of friendship) who is just as invested in recovering the data (as he's included in the footage) and won't hesitate to kill Six (Lloyd likes killing and will enjoy the process of taking down someone with "street cred").
Carmichael is a first class controlling douchebag snob. Hiring Lloyd over Sierra both satisfies his vanity, and reassures his worry about an agent having any pesky morals.
Since we did a villian movie of Chris Evan, a movie on Collateral would be amazing Tom Cruise as a top tier villian was just great.
Collateral is one of my faves. Would love to see this one covered.
I suppose it is Chris Evans, but I wasn't expecting to warm up to the 50s dad look
Chris Evans is so glad to not have to play the boy scout anymore
I liked this film. I think Chris Evans is highly underrated in comedy he did start out with not another teen movie. I see some of his ego based character in this the same feel as his character in not a another teen movie but he kills people. Same timing, same egocentric ahole. He just added some edge to it and made it not so silly. Not another teen was a parody Afterall but I would love to see Evans in a purely comedic role again.
The only issue I had with this film was on my laptop and smart phone it is so dark in the night time scenes I couldn't see what was happening. Which sucks because it's some of the best action. I messed about with the settings and stuff but I think the encoding for android devices is a bit messed up causing overly dark scenes. Its happened on a few Netflix films actually. Which is a shame
He also played one of the Evil Exes in Scott Pilgrim.
Chris Evans,Ryan Gosling and the diolog between them are the heroes of this movie and what I loved throughout.
My favorite line. "What agency? THE CIA??!!
The hysterical laughter that followed was deserved.
16:14 HAHA SAME THOUGHTS!! will they be love interests in the sequel? Ryan and Ana's chemistry bruh, just amazing since bladerunner 2049!!!😍😍😍
18:57
Yes, that is a saying. If something fucks, it's very good. (i.e. if, say, someone looks good in a dress, you say "Oh that dress FUCKS.")
I feel like Chris Evans is now just Unhinged after Captain America and has too much fun playing Villains now. Knives Out and The Grey Man is just pure examples.
He played Douches and villains before marvel
How do we not get a win that when six walks into Claire’s room at the very end is the first time we see him in all white? Like he’s shed the “Gray” part of his name and is more of a good guy??
Id like to make some movie recommendations:
• Monty Python
• The Third Man
• Dark City
• Beverly Hills Cop
about time I got my daily dose of Positivity
and oh I'm so happy Chris Evan play evil character
Dude I saw the shirtless scene with 6 and I was like, "100% Cinema Wins is gonna say 'workout routine'"
1:00 it makes me SO HAPPY that Lee watched Bridgerton 😂❤
Having read the books, I found it very hard to like this movie. I didn't realise it was practically an action-comedy when watching it. While some of the action was good, the editing wasn't the best and some scenes are clearly sped up in post which I felt undermined them. What I really found was that I neither cared for the characters and that the story was (SPOILER) basically a cut down version of Commando, a superior film. With the story and character development, perhaps this should have been a series rather than a film. The 200 million budget is about 150 million more than what this movie had any right to cost especially consider the CGI was not first rate. Nice Kittridge callout :D Thank you nonetheless for a good go through on this. Your channel is one of my favourites.
you know; watching this for like the 12th time
I'm pretty sure the entire reason her name is Suzanne is because of how funny a line "I got shot in the ass, Suzanne" is
Could you please cover Everything Great About Rango?
YESSSS
One legend to another!
Just finished this movie. Really great movie. Loved it.
I’ll be honest I watched Top Gun Maverick for the 3rd time tonight, I can’t wait until you do it (hopefully)
God how does Chris Evans play a psychopathic murderer so well?
Edit: SoCIoPatH
I know we all think of Chris Evans as Captain America, but he honestly needs to do more villain roles. Dude is good at it.
if they ever did watchmen again Chris Evans would make an amazing comedian
No he wouldn't.
@@synchc How would you know?
@@perce1veALLBecause I've read Watchmen, understood the tone and character, seen the film, seen more than one of Evans' films and I'm not blind, deaf or dumb.
A better question would be: how could you not know?
@@synchc Just tell us without the bullshit.
@@perce1veALL No, it's not. He could act as The Comedian, he's an actor. Would it be amazing? No.
Another great detail during the plane scene where they had that wordless conversation, the guy at the desk grabs a gun, but the clearly more experienced leader advises against it and opts for a knife instead because unlike what most games and movies have led you to believe, shooting inside a plane is a BIG no-no.
You again forgot a epic scene. This time the one where Suzanne tells how much unsuccessful their mission was and saying this gig will be taught to students about how not to screw up. And Lloyd response is "WHAT I DO CAN'T BE TAUGHT" ... Atleast 10 wins right there..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you like the fits, it's been revealed British label Ben Sherman was the supplier for a big part of the outfits.!
My primary school teachers invented the move Lloyd does with the ears, guess I'm tough asf lmao
Chris Evan’s acting in the Gray man reminds me of peacemaker from SS
Loved the movie,
I demand a sequel
Was chuckling fr when there was the laughing part HAHAHAHA Good content man
Just realized Lloyd called 6 „Ken doll“ and Gosling really is the Ken doll
So, when are we getting an EGA for The Nice Guys ?
I think alot of Lloyd's mannerisms are taken from John Travolta in Face Off, the way he holds his gun near his groin and the finger extended over the trigger.
I think Chris Evans is completely undoubtedly the most gorgeous man in that movie. Ryan is handsome....
Minus the trash stache, anyway. 😉
Yeh, don't find Gosling a hottie.
This is Ryan Gosling's best movie imo. I wish they made it like James Bond Franchise
My response to the "grunt segment"
Should say said character "went to the Kratos school of grunting"
Wait this was hated? This is one of my favorite movies of the last few years!
I think they nailed the writing. A lot of time, movies seem to - even unintentionally - give their male and female leads romantic chemistry. I think it is a result of the density of the text - of the fact you have to have good, efficient, effective dialogue and immediacy in a movie like this. And yet, I really do get the best vibe from de Armas and Gosling. They're buds. And I loved de Armas's character and her embodiment of that. Totally makes the movie that much better. And similar props to Henwick, who I have loved in everything I have seen her in, and reminds me of some of my own best friends in the best way.
The absurdity is part of the fun of the movie. I absolutely loved it. I didn’t know about it til a couple months ago and I think I watched it like 5 times in a span of a couple weeks. Excellent movie. Can’t wait for the other ones.
19:27 I feel like he wasn’t talking about the actual morals of it, but how badly the op was botched and how much damage it would do to their reputation with other clandestine agencies.
I know that others didn't like this movie that much but I loved it. The killing scene at the start of the movie (the firework place) where he kills bunch of security guards is so awesome
The Gray Man is loosely based off of a book of the same name. I'm currently reading it (after watching the movie). Some of the characters are in both, but the plot is different.
yea the book and the movie are way different the book is better. Don't know why they changed so much from the book version other then it must have been just to fill some quota or something for strong female character or something since in the book the chick that helped him the whole time did not exist in the book.
How prescient that Gosling ended up actually playing a Ken. Excellent.
As was prophesied.
Perfectly cromulant film. This and No Time To Die absolutely confirm that we need Ana de Armas to have her own action film. She was great, again.
I love Ryan Gosling so much that I hate him for waiting so long to become an action star
13:28 Turns out Ryan Gosling is really Ken, who would've thought, the writer apparently
I really did love this movie and you should have made another counter for Six's grunts.
