The Guy Ritchie cinematic experience has morphed slightly in the 2020s, where his reliance on slow-motion violence and British witticisms has waned, becoming less stylized. I believe In the Grey is the first attempt to meld his past filmmaking tendencies with his current storytelling vision, and it hit quite a bit. It is slick, cool, tense, and action-packed, even without skimping on detailed explanations of successful corporate loan retrieval. The acting left something to be desired, and some key backstory was missing to really cement the connection between the leads. But, criticisms aside, I would sign up for a sequel today.
