Guy Ritchie’s latest star-studded action-adventure cocktail is “In the Grey”, a film that has the same energy as the director’s 2024 film “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”. At least that’s the impression we get from its first trailer that just released yesterday. It’s a rip-roaring first look that shows off a nice cast, some good laughs, and (of course) plenty of action. There’s still a lot to the story that we don’t yet know. But that’s a good thing.

“In the Grey” is strengthened by a compelling ensemble that includes Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, Eiza González, and Rosamund Pike. Gyllenhaal and Cavill play two covert operatives led by their handler (Gonzalez) to steal back billions of dollars from a ruthless tyrant. Of course they’ll have to use all of their skills if they’re going to take on the despot’s “reasonably experienced” private army. This looks right up Ritchie’s alley, and if the movie plays as good as the trailer, we might be in for a treat.

“In the Grey” hits theaters May 15th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
