"One moment sees Cavill's Sid and Gyllenhaal's Bronco pretend to be a married couple to get into a hotel. Bronco also casually refers to "my husband" in front of their crew, and nobody reacts. According to The Guardian 's film critic Benjamin Lee's, the two leading men are "they are for all intents and purposes playing a gay couple". Lee also says that there are references about prison sex."
""As Sid is leaving Bronco alone in their truck to pull off a distraction," Seitz wrote, "Bronco calls after him, 'I love you,' and Sid glances back in wordless affirmation. The moment is funny, but it's not treated as a joke.""
"There has been no major press tour for In The Grey. In fact, neither Cavill nor Gyllenhaal have posted about its release on social media. Ahead of its release, it had just four reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. It now holds a 46% score on the "Tomatometer" from 41 reviews."
"Ritchie is known for stylised crime films such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, as well as franchise work including Sherlock Holmes. But In The Grey is reported to be his worst box office since 2008, as according to Box Office Mojo it opened to just $3million in the US."
In The Grey, Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill star as mercenaries hired to recover a large debt from a dictator. The on-screen relationship is described as queer-coded, including a hotel infiltration where they pretend to be a married couple and Bronco refers to “my husband” without any reaction. References to prison sex are also noted. A tense moment includes Bronco calling after Sid, “I love you,” followed by Sid’s wordless affirmation. The film has had limited press and social media promotion, with few early reviews and a modest Rotten Tomatoes score. It opened in the US to about $3 million, reported as Guy Ritchie’s weakest box office since 2008.
