First Reactions to ‘The Invisible Agent’: Powerful action that falls short of ‘Mission Impossible’ or ‘John Wick’

“The Invisible Agent”, a very expensive film premiered by Netflix on July 15th in cinemas and in streaming on July 22nd, has already been made available to the press and was seen at a fan event in Los Angeles, so the first reactions are on Twitter. This film, directed by both the Russo brothers and written by Joe Russo in collaboration with Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus (with whom he worked on ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame’); it is succeeding thanks to its action, but it would be far from the best of the genre.

Some of the fans and pros of the medium compare it to “Mission Impossible” or “John Wick” making sure it is light years away from both, despite its action it would be “full of adrenaline” and it would be “wildly funny”. Many agree in praising the film’s protagonist, Ryan Gosling, and the antagonist, played by Chris Evans, highlighting the know-how of both in the fight scenes. Ana de Armas also receives some compliments but, on the contrary, Regé-Jean Page, formerly of ‘The Bridgertons’, is not even mentioned.

. @ Fratello_Russo ‘ #TheGrayMan has relentless and well-constructed action sequences. Battle of wits, bullets and muscles. Ryan Gosling & @Chris Evans share excellent jokes (and flamboyant facial hair!). Ana de Armas is tough and beautiful. Dhanush’s scenes are merciless and sharp. pic.twitter.com/aYNmxGpLkg

“The Invisible Agent” by the Russo brothers has relentless and well-constructed action sequences. It’s a constant battle of wits and bullets. Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans replicate excellently, and Ana de Armas is as rough as she is beautiful. Dhanush’s scenes are ruthless and sharp “.

THE GRAY MAN is a tactically aggressive and murderous action film by the Russo brothers. Ryan Gosling brings his usual stoic toughness against Chris Evans’ evil charm. Not as impressive as the Mission: Impossible or John Wick movies, but it’s still a popcorn-heavy piece of entertainment. pic.twitter.com/ggXuErNUYs

“‘The Invisible Agent’, the Russo Brothers action movie, is full of wildly aggressive killers. Ryan Gosling brings his usual stoic toughness, countered by the evil charm of Chris Evans. It’s not as impressive as the “Mission: Impossible” or “John Wick” movies, but it’s still a great popcorn movie.”.

Netflix ‘ #TheGrayMan is a solid action thriller (the streamer’s best so far), with great performances by Gosling, Evans and de Armas. The combat choreography and acrobatic work are excellent, to put it mildly. Overall a winner.

# The invisible agent has the occasional powerful action scene and pockets of humor that she refuses to embrace. don’t you dare be #Fast & Furious and stays VERY far from #JohnWick, #Mission Impossible or #James Bond. Of course: it copies them all with more or less grace. entertainment without + pic.twitter.com/FCIggRBbwS

honestly if the Russo brothers produce an Everything Everywhere All at Once every year they can create all the damn gray men they want. they could do a six-episode spin-off series about Chris Evans’ persimmons as far as I’m concerned.

“‘The Invisible Agent’ is two hours of all that Tom Clancy [autor de ‘Jack Ryan’] would excludewith its protagonists shouting absurd things like ‘dead dead’ [a la traducción directa: ‘hazlo muerto’, una forma efectivamente ridícula de decir ‘mátalo’] between bland action scenes in beautiful locations; all of which leads to the revelation of the most hilarious and stupid backstory I’ve ever seen. It almost made me miss “Red Alert”. Mind you, honestly, if the Russo brothers produce an “Everywhere Everywhere” every year, they can do as many as they want “The Invisible Agent”. As far as I’m concerned, they could do a six-episode spin-off about Chris Evans’ persimmons. “.
