Guy Ritchie's 'The Specialists' streams on Prime Video with Cavill and Gyllenhaal

The action thriller "The Specialists" (original title "In the Grey") directed by British filmmaker Guy Ritchie stars Henry Cavill, Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza González as a debt collector hired to recover nearly a billion dollars stolen from a major bank. The film was shot in 2023, slated for a 2025 Lionsgate release, but after a series of box‑office failures it was delayed, released in the United States in May 2026, and then bypassed French cinemas to debut on Amazon Prime Video in France on 31 July 2026.

Critics note the film’s signature fast‑paced editing, stylised violence and witty dialogue, but describe it as a formulaic B‑movie that failed to attract theatrical audiences. The streaming launch reflects a pattern for recent Ritchie releases that have gone directly to video‑on‑demand platforms after poor box‑office performance.
