“The Gray Man,”The explosive action extravaganza of Joe and Anthony Russo (directors “Avengers: Infinity War” “Avengers: Endgame”The film, which is titled “The Greatest Movie Ever Made by Netflix”, will be released in theaters this weekend. It will also hit Netflix on Friday, July 22nd.

He is frequently asked to do what the agency can’t. Chris Evans is a former spy, and current contractor whose methods can be questioned at best. Evans becomes his nemesis after a job goes wrong. Evans is quite a psychopath. You can see his savage mustache. It’s a real spy-versus-spy scenario, complete with over-the-top action sequences, mass destruction and very quippy one-liners (the rest of the very game cast includes Jessica Henwick, Ana de Armas and Regé-Jean Page).
