5/29/2023 0 Comments Saga of the swamp thing vol 1The Gray Man was a lifeless actioner that felt as devoid of passion as it did original ideas. It garnered pretty solid viewership numbers, which justified the decision to green-light a sequel and further expand “the Gray Man universe,” but the critical response to the movie was pretty lackluster. Despite a production budget of $200 million – making it the most expensive movie ever produced by Netflix – and the phenomenal cast that includes the likes of Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Regé-Jean Page, Alfre Woodard and more, The Gray Man simply did not work. 2022’s The Gray Man, a Netflix original, is a mess, to say the least. Their follow-up to Cherry, on the other hand, casts a lot of doubt on the directing duo. Everybody has their creative duds at least the Russos attempted to do something completely different after their success in the superhero action genre. There were some truly baffling directorial decisions with Cherry, which really held the movie back from effectively telling the powerful story at its core. While the movie certainly got people talking at the time, it wasn’t entirely in a positive light. Their first film to follow Endgame was 2021’s Cherry, which starred Tom Holland as a young veteran suffering from PTSD and a crippling drug addiction. They’ve directed several films together and produced numerous other projects, but nothing has really stuck the way you’d expect. However, the Russo brothers’ career in the years after Avengers: Endgame has been anything but outstanding.
