REVIEW OF THE GREY

In The Grey, Liam Neeson plays a brooding sharpshooter who fights tough to save his ass from being eaten by wolves following a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness.

Neeson plays a loner named Ottway, whose sharpshooting oil-field job was to protect the work site against wildlife attacks. Before the crash, he was suicidal, saved from self-destruction only by sun-dappled bedroomy memories of his loving wife. After the crash, Ottway is the one who rallies the living, sometimes just by growling at them with an Irish accent. He shares his survivalist skills with frightened, angry men including a Swaggering Blowhard Ex-Con (Frank Grillo), a Large Gentle Black Man (Nonso Anozie), and a Reasonable Guy Who Reads (Dermot Mulroney, almost unrecognizable behind bookworm eyeglasses). The starving, freezing men struggle through snowdrifts, fight wolves, and philosophize around campfires. There are eight, and then there are seven, and then there are fewer than that. Ottway suffers terribly — haven't you seen those facial lacerations on the posters?


What's Good About the Movie: I LOVE the pace and vibe of the movie, you actually felt like you was a part of the action. The What does it take to fight another day with no hope of salvation keeps you glued to the screen.

What's Bad About the Movie: I dislike the ending, but read online that there was little something after the credits, however we still don’t know if he survived UGH!

Overall Grade: B-

  1. Didjakno that Liam Neeson has what was once perported to be the biggest cock in Hollywood?

    I remember beholding it for the first time in some swashbuckler Scottish movie with kilts way back when I was dating a girl and was a WEE bit uncomfortable at not being able to 'measure up' to the horse-hung Mr Neeson.

    I read that he loves to show his stuff and has done so in at least 18 movies, God bless em.

  2. Being an animal lover I'd probably root for the wolves.

    1. L(O)L, I guess that's why they made them look REAL vicious so we couldn't pull for them.
