Intellectually offensive, but some shots were nice I suppose.

Joe Carnahan puts his post-NARC career back on course with the effective and unexpectedly spiritual THE GREY, starring his A-TEAM lead Liam Neeson as another alpha male thrown into a life-or-death situation. Here, Neeson keeps his Irish brogue to play suicidal John Ottway, a hunter employed to kill the wolves that endanger an oil team in Alaska. Then, one fateful night during a blizzard, Ottway becomes one of seven drillers to survive a plane crash on their way home. Stranded…

Transcends from a standard action/survival film with a brilliant final coda. Anyone else making a film about man trying to overcome impossible odds take note.

There are times when The Grey is very formulaic and unoriginal and times when it breaks away and surprises, just a shame that overall I found it as bleak and empty as the snowy wastes they crashed in.

Fuck faith! Earn it!
Dieser Satz alleine, den Ottway Richtung Himmel brüllt, bringt dem Film einen Stern ein!Düsterer Streifen. Aber sehr gut! Allerdings mit ein paar Tiefpunkten. Konnte Liam seine Rolle irgendwie nie richtig abkaufen. Irgendwie war er nicht menschlich. Keine Ahnung.. ganz komisch fand ich das. Bin aber auch kein großer Fan von ihm, vielleicht lags daran.das Ende an sich war ganz gut, wobei da auch nochmal gut gezeigt wird warum ich den Charakter von Ottway nicht so…

The film is very well crafted, with some great performances....but with little to say. 'The Grey' is a perfect example of existentialism in film, but I believe that there's a difference in simply showing off a view point (with no care to debate its stance) and a film that dialogues about its own philosophies. I put 'The Grey' in the former camp. Well crafted, but I wish it was willing to dialogue.

I've always liked this sort of survival stories, and they do a very good job at it here, the characters are very well defined and they actually grow and develop as the story goes. Really the best parts are just the conversations between them as the inevitable approaches, in a way the wolves are nothing more than death creeping up and them having to come to terms with it before it gets there.

68/100
Ciertas partes están filmadas (bueno, grabadas: es digital) y cortadas con las patas. Carnahan logra los mejores momentos de la película en los momentos silenciosos, en conversaciones aparentemente banales, en revelaciones intimistas.El mejor plano: Talget subido a la cuerda con un abismo de green screen al fondo.
Escena más desgarradora: Cuando Hendrick y Ottway abandonan a Díaz en la ribera del río, a petición suya.
Efecto más chafa: el supuesto lobo macho alfa, que se ve peor que el Gmork de La historia sin fin.
