For a while, In the Grey attempts something you wouldn't expect to find in a typical shoot-'em-up action film: It turns into a process movie. Instead of offering up the kind of chaotic, off-the-cuff violence that something like the John Wick films work hard to sell, In the Grey meticulously details infiltration and extraction plans conceived by a pair of elite operatives, played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill. Not only that, considerable time is spent on their boss, a cunning recovery specialist (Eiza González) who targets shady criminals on behalf of shadier clients, doing things like forensic accounting and filing court orders to apply pressure to those in her crosshairs. It might sound boring; it's actually the best and most original part of the movie.
