Would have given it 5 Stars, if they showed the final fight. Still a great movie, even if you wait to see the last clip, after the credits and see who wins.

Though the premise of the film at times can feel a little far-fetched, this survival adventure flick about men surviving the cold and wolves in Alaska packs a great punch and is thrilling. But a great lead by Liam Neeson and the character depth of the film is what adds the most to this. Best Neeson film since Schindler's List.

Every survival story has some degree of a plodding, who's-going-to-get-picked-off-next feel to it. In spite of this, The Grey is strong on characters. It's described as also being philosophical, though to me, it seem more to deal with reality. The reality of the situation the characters are in. The reality of who they are, where they've come from, and who they hold dear. And amid that reality, what do they do, and how do they respond?

I was expecting a good ending but this time I was wrong. I think that those who died in the plane crash was lucky because they didn't experience a large coldness and wolf attacks.

The suspense was great, outside of the obvious "Look out, It's a wolf!" situations. Liam Neeson never disappoints!

One by one, the few survivors of a plane crash are picked off by the harsh Alaska elements -- its ferocious wolves and sub-zero temperatures. Joe Carnahan energizes this familiar template with fine direction that emphasizes the visceral subject matter without exploiting it. And his screenplay gives meaning to the struggle for survival -- a consideration of the experience of death as horrifying and transcendent.

Liam Neeson has never disappointed people with his films. He, together with the rest of the cast were able to deliver action consistently throughout the rest of the movie without bringing in a moment of dullness.

A rare and new addition to my list of all-time favorites. As close as a film can get to realizing a cohesive blend of thrills and theme.

Liam Neeson's pained, affecting work was the under recognized performance of the year. So too was this thoughtful and stark survival story, which pits man against nature, the wild, and himself with pitiless intensity and philosophical intent. The themes of this film are etched into the face of Neeson and in the atmosphere itself.
