The Grey
The Grey
Following a grueling five-week shift at an Alaskan oil refinery, workers led by sharpshooter John Ottway are flying home for a much-needed vacation. But a brutal storm causes their plane to crash in the frozen wilderness, and only eight men, including Ottway, survive. As they trek southward toward civilization and safety, Ottway and his companions must battle mortal injuries, the icy elements, and a pack of hungry wolves.

For what I thought was a generic Liam Neeson movie, I am SERIOUSLY impressed. The Grey is nothing like the usual Liam Neeson movies we've all come to know. Not even close. This is a story about what happens to a group of men on the brink of death. It shows us how different people react to finding themselves in a situation they never thought they'd be in. It shows us how they proccess being surrounded by death on all sides and how they come to terms with the fact that their outcome is so bleak.
Holding onto hope it turns out is not something everyone can do and by the end of the movie, you realise that the lucky ones died in the plane crash.
Overall I was very impressed with The Grey and would love to see it on a 4K bluray. This film is now sitting comfortable in my top 3 Liam Neeson lead movies.
