This film takes you on a journey with pure men with the struggles they experience and the beauty that comes with it.It is not intended as a documentary of wolves. Bit rather the way men think and why we men are men.Chicks don't get this. Go watch a romcom.Survival and pure instinct this is what destilles from the broth.

I like Liam Neeson a lot. Not only he can act; he is effortlessly cool, with a strong, magnetic presence many ripped colleagues half his age can only dream of.Neeson, by far the best thing about the picture, plays Ottway, one of the survivors of a plane crash in Alaska; the group struggles against cold, starvation and a pack of wolves. And what wolves they are...! Let's call them "schwolves", because they really have nothing in common with the actual Canis Lupus: relentless and sadistic, they make the Beast of the Gévaudan look like a Pomeranian.Artistic licenses about ethology aside, I am not too crazy about the movie's script by emerging screenwriter Joe Carnahan. First and more notable, even disregarding the schwolves, there is a streak of nonsense running through the story. Gritty survival dramas don't need to be 100% realistic but, more than in other genres, the characters' main decisions need to stand up to scrutiny. Ottway orders the group to abandon the plane's wreckage, where they would have partial shelter from cold and animals and at least a chance of being found... why? Because, he casually states as if it's not even worth discussing, nobody will find the plane. Oh, okay. Ever heard of ELTs?Then he pushes his companions to reach the woods, where they'll be, get this, safer from wolves. Am I missing something? Maybe the movie's schwolves just love plane wreckages but avoid woods? No they don't, woods prove to be most unsafe for the group. That's a truly shocking development.Am I supposed to think that Ottway is an idiot? Obviously not, because the script clearly wants us to be in awe of him and of the ludicrous factoids about animals and survival he spouts. Maybe his phone does have a signal and he is just googling this stuff from some very stupid site.Aside for Ottway, characters are flat and underdeveloped - except Frank Grillo's Diaz, who gets even too much exposure as the obligatory Angry Jerkass (of the more benign "who eventually learns to cooperate" variety). I am also not impressed by the movie's attempts at depth, with garden-variety nihilism and overcompensating masculine stoicism. Before the end there is a scene where Ottway screams his desperation at the sky... and God doesn't answer. Wow, deep. Good thing you have your dad's crap inspirational poem to motivate you, Ottway.A wasted opportunity; pity, because Neeson is always good and I enjoyed the straightforward premise, which does lead to some effectively tense moments.5,5/10

The Grey is awesome. Liam Neeson is amazing in this. It's not the action type film a lot of people will expect, it is more a drama with some thriller elements and some action mixed in. He's a purposeless hunter who works for a large oil company, killing wolves that could otherwise harm the oil pipeline workers (and delay the oil company's production). When the plane he's on goes down in the woods and snow, he has to try to lead the survivors on a quest to safety through wolf territory, which is much more difficult than it seems. A very good film with a great performance by Neeson, and a good supporting turn by Dermot Mulroney as well.

The movie was a little bit better than i was expected.(i read a couple reviews without spoilers before i watched it ) Liam Neeson's performance was truly outstanding,and i loved the way that the movie played with the different psychology between humans in the same circumstances.
