Based on Mark Greaney's book, The Gray Man revolves around the CIA's most skilled mercenary Court Gentry (Gosling) and his former cohort Lloyd Hansen (Evans).

Hansen has to track and bring him to the authorities and this calls for an epic chase with many high-octane action sequences!

Quote
Gosling's fight sequence with Dhanush took many retakes
Talking to The Quint about Dhanush, Gosling recently said, "He (Dhanush) is so precise, he never made a mistake. We shot this fight sequence, and we reshot it multiple times. It underwent so many different incarnations." "Dhanush never made a mistake...it seemed inhuman. He is so funny and charming. The biggest difficulty was pretending to be enemies because I just liked him so much."
