    The Gray Man vs Bullet Train; Numbers vs Style #39

    Hey guys! Welcome to another episode of The Aftermath Podcast, this episode its all about action films, as we review Netflix's juggernaut of a film laden with an internationally reknowned star studded cast, in an attempt to make its own James Bondesque franchise that reaches Michael Bay levels of fast paced action and witty dialogue but directed by the Russo's? Dhanush is here aswell, clearly as bait for Indian audiences but is his role, satisfying? does he have any impact on the wider story Finally, a suprisingly refreshing film we watched over the weekend is Bullet Train, this has all the makings of a cult classic, David Leitch shows us again why he is an auteur with action like Zack Snyder is with slow mo, the film is incredible, beautiful and in a refreshing pace has brilliant dialogue throughout!
