The Grey

Director Joe Carnahan delivers a solid film with this action film that aims higher beyond the genre limitations. After their plane crashes in Alaska, a group of men try to survive the harsh wilderness while being hunted by a pack of wolves. Carnahan delivers a no-nonsense man versus nature film that works in its favor because of it. While the story is not new, the philosophical view on survival gives the film more substance besides its riveting action. Liam Neeson stars with another solid performance which should further enhance his reputation as a solid action star. The supporting cast includes Frank Grillo and Dermot Mulroney. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
