The Gray Man

 Watched The Gray Man on Netflix. 

CIA assassin is targeted for termination by the new people in charge. But obviously he cannot be killed,  no matter what or who is thrown at him. 

Nothing new in the story. Ryan Gosling does a fair job as the indestructible agent. Rest is more memorable for the carnage than the storyline. 

But couple of surprises. 
1. Captain America (Chris Evans) plays an out and out psycho to reset his goody-goody image. He goes all out in the psycho department until the director yelled "cut!" at him. And he still kept stabbing / torturing.

2. Small but noticeable part as an "honorable assassin" for apro Dhanush! Tamizh hero in Hollywood movie! Aur kitne acche din chahiye?
Unfortunately he is referred to as Avik San for some reason. Kaala Japanese vibes? 
Even more unfortunately his scenes are mostly in the dark. Sorry to say, makes it harder to see him 😜 (#racist). 


So watch it if you like the genre. Or for psycho Captain America. Or our nanban Dhanush.
