Review-The Grey

The Grey is the newest action/drama film from director Joe Carnahan(Narc, Smoking Aces, The A-Team) starring Liam Neeson. Ottway (Neeson) is part of an Alaska oil drilling team that keeps separate from the group and his thoughts to himself. When the plane that the team is on crashes, Ottway must become the vocal leader of the survivors. Not only do they have to brave the elements(snowstorm) but survive a pack of wolves as well. The crash happens right where the wolves live at, which makes them angry and territorial. I thought this movie was well done and I really enjoyed it. You have so many layers of conflict to this film. You have man versus man, nature, and beast that is woven together pretty good. There is also man battling versus himself throughout the film that is handled exceptionally well. Every survivor does not have a black and white story to them(hence the title). As I recommend this film wholeheartedly, I do offer this advice. PLEASE, when you watch the movie, STAY PAST THE CREDITS! This movie will leave you disappointed if you don't watch the last scene after the credits.
