It’s hard to imagine a story about chasing down billionaires who avoid paying their debts being told any other way. The film In the Grey centers on a team of highly skilled, heavily armed debt collectors, led by Rachel Wild (Eiza González). She’s a freelancer who specializes in persuading powerful, international businessmen to repay the large debts they owe. This time, her target is Manny Salazar (Carlos Bardem), a dangerous gangster with his own island and security force. To force Salazar to pay, Rachel needs to unravel his complex web of legal and illegal businesses and then essentially hold them hostage until the debt is settled. She’s assisted by Bronco (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Sid (Henry Cavill), who are experts in intimidation, spying, bribery, and other shady tactics.
