Om denne filmen

Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Taken) stars as the unlikely hero Ottway in this undeniably suspenseful and powerful survival adventure. After their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness, a roughneck group of oil drillers are forced to find a way back to civilization. As Ottway leads the injured survivors through the brutal snow and ice, they are relentlessly tracked by a vicious pack of rogue wolves that will do anything to defend their territory. Adrenaline-fueled, action-packed and loaded with some of the most intense and brutally realistic attack scenes ever filmed, The Grey is being hailed as "a thriller you can sink your teeth into!" (The Washington Post)

The Grey is an almost beat-to-beat rip-off of "the edge". Same premise, same characterizations, & same plotlines, although, half of the film's plotlines are very different (including the unexpected ending), and the movie has different actors and wolves. This Film does have some great direction on how the script should go for the screenplay, and some of it is breathtaking in an awe-inspiring way and it's also unforgettable, But when it comes to surviving a wolf encounter, it's not accurate at all. The filmmakers try to make it realistic with strong acting, a lot of fake blood, the shaking, moving cameras, and letting out a lot of profanity, so the film will fool us into thinking that this film is based on real events & will leave with a strong hatred and fear of wolves. But the portrayal of wolves in the film are not true at all, Wolves are in fact very shy, but Never approach any wild animal. During the production, the film crew buys 4 wolf carcasses from a local trapper for props and food for the cast to eat. All of this is just offensive to me as a huge sucker for creatures like me. Not only that this film is predictable, but also, this "Thriller" lacks thrills; most of it is just chases, attacks, and there are no thorough close calls. The characters may be fleshed out, but they are careless & arrogant steryotypes that really don't give a hoot about zoologey, nature, and animal experts. To make matters worse, the characters named John Diaz (Frank Grillo) and John Ottway (the main character played by Liam Neeson) are Atheists. Compared to The Golden Compass (2007), The Grey is truly an anti-christian movie, foul-mouthed characters who are atheists is enough to make this anti-christian. Now that is offensive to me as a christian, and there is one scene in particular where Ottway is alone and is calling on God the wrong offensive way. The animatronic wolves are very decent and also the CGI wolves are implemented in the film well. The cold, atmospheric score composed by Marc Streitenfeld is decent enough; it does what it has to do; supporting the mood of the film, but there are some cues of the score that are memorable and effective with a rich and full-bodied flavor. In conclusion: The Grey may be an impressive piece of filmmaking (if not actually entertaining), but as a guy with a passion for animals and also as a christian, I am offended. For Recommendation: It is most certainly not recommended for everyone, not even one at all costs!

This is a top quality film. All the people complaining that it was pointless and such don't understand what the movie was about. Liam isn't some super soldier hero, he is a man who has lost everything already that is put in a situation that is dire to those who still have something to lose. Yes, wolves don't hunt people, but they protect their dens and that is what they were doing. The movie is dark, lonesome, cold because that is the environment they are in. Any person who thinks it was boring is an idiot. This is not an action adventure movie, it's a survival movie that stars the normal human being. Since it has already been said many times here, Liam doesn't die, nor does he live. We as the viewr are left to decide with the last bit after the credits. If anything, it's symbolic of how Liam is just the lead wolf himself. Lost in the cold, trying to protect his men which is all the wolves are doing. The acting is remarkably good, Liam delivers like it was the role he born for, even though it isn't.

Only four because men, especially those that work in alaska are more savey then to not make snow shoes and pikes to go around there camp site. Leaving the wrexk without weapons after what happened was really dumb. humans are allot smarter than this movie makes them out to be. Now if it was a bunch of people from a posh neighborhood that have no real worls experiance then it would be more accurate. 4 for the story with his wife. Unrealistic
