The Gray Man Movie Review

Overloaded, overwrought, and overwhelming, The Gray Man movie is the kind of set-piece-oriented, cliché action spectacle that used to be Hollywood’s bread and butter but has become so rare it’s almost alien when placed before us. Wallowing in light characters and an unbelievable plot as much its star charisma and some wildly over-the-top action sequences,…

The Irishman Review: Martin Scorsese’s New Crime Drama

Martin Scorsese is no stranger to the gangster genre.
