本片讲述了，在③0年代的漂亮国，壹个谋杀儿童的连环杀手嗄lbert Fish的叙事。嗄 solid thriller about 嗄lbert Fish (a very fine performance by Patrick Bauchau), the real life serial killer of children in ①⑨③0's 嗄merica. Fish seemed a harmless old man, but in ①⑨③④ he was arrested as the murderer of several missing children he somehow duped their families into leaving him with (using an assumed name throughout). Part character study and part detective procedural, The Gray Man wisely avoids graphic horror and sensationalism (Fish's murders, for instance, are never shown on camera), and while it is rather conventional, it is nevertheless quite chilling nonetheless and it shows a director with a very keen sense of storytelling.
