John wick wannabee?

Different, less focused.

John Wick movies focused on John Wick killing a lot of people, cheesy but still believable, it established John Wick as an effective assassin.

But Six was handcuffed to a bench, unarmed, injured (car accident), surrounded by a lot of mercenaries with heavy arms, still survived. That I don't think was about how good Six was as an effective assassin, because none was that good, so the scene although long did not mean anything.

I mean they have RPGs, just one to the bench would have done it. Like Lloyd Hansen said:"My god, how hard it is to kill someone handcuffed to a bench?"

So it was more about the incompetence of strike teams than how good Six was, which I think was only established in the final scene. But at that point I was more surprised than impressed.

I think the only effective assassin established in the movie was that Tamil guy, who beat up both Six and Miranda (Ana de Armas) without much difficulty.

Honestly, it felt more like Jason Bourne if he didn't have amnesia. But I had fun with it.

The Gray Man is based on a novel published in 2009. John Wick came out in 2014. I have not seen the movie, but the book and the rest of the novel series is excellent! Lots of actions.
