Typical, unrealistic, action movie

The storyline is well above average for a covert operative adventure plot. The acting and direction was spectacular. The special effects are outstanding. This film contains the finest drone cinematography I've ever seen. It's worth watching for that alone. The fight scenes are typical Hollywood BS. A real hand-to-hand combat fight rarely lasts a full 30 seconds. Also, I have a problem with movies depicting women competing with men in hand-to-hand combat. It's unrealistic. In reality, women should be trained to strike-and-flee when confronted by any man willing to hurt a woman.

Predictable "hero fights for sassy brat kid" story

The movie is a long string of action-flick tropes, from the "hero with a tragic past" to the "action scene in Eastern Europe" all the way to the good-old "betrayed by your own team" thing. There has to be a reason to fight, and like every film school seminar ever, that ends up being some bratty, sassy little kid with some rando illness.
The bad guy was seriously channelling his Jim Carrey Robotnik throughout the whole of it, which was less annoying than it was funny.
But! If you like that stuff, and eat it up with popcorn, then go for it. It's what you need.

As far as woke goes, it comes in the form of the cookie-cutter feminzazi characters. I mean, each one of them is the same exact boring inhuman fem-bot made of the same chunk of high-heeled playdoh.
Yes, the 19-year-old waif beating up hulking 30-40 y.o. battle-worn men three times her size without ever breaking a sweat or scratching a nail. Yes, all the women in this story are bossy as hell, in the same bossy-bitch "on the rag" way, even the sassy little brat for which our protagonist fights. They ALL lose their cool and yell at the guys. One of them (same character, otherwise) goes full-blown Star Wars Purple Haired DIsney General on the story and blows herself up for absolutely no reason whatsoever except.... the directors were a fan of the purple-haired lady, maybe? It seems that all of the female characters - all of them - were pretty much shoved into the story because Netflix thought it needed more tits.
The story would have been so much better without them.

Is that woke? Eh, enough to stick out like highly manicured thumbs. But if you ignore the screamy bitches, the action is still action-y enough to action. So, action on, Gray Man.

Woke-free

Strong female characters. That's the extent of the wokeness. Enjoyable spy thriller script. Been beaten to death, but was still enjoyable to watch.
