Yes, for every father you know who considers Jack Ryan his best friend, and is reaching for Reacher season 2? The Gray Man is practically made for him. That’s because many dads probably know the name Court Gentry from the best-selling Mark Greaney books that created the character that Ryan Gosling is playing. The Gray Man (who is Gentry) is a member of a secret CIA group called The Sierra Program. And, unfortunately, the CIA just hired Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans, playing a mustachioed sociopath who really loves to be bad) to hunt Gentry down. So, get ready for a globe-trotting adventure where The First Avenger hunts down the Driver. The latter keeps getting put in dangerous situations, and somehow gets out of trouble (most of the time), and that’s much of the movie’s charm.
