The Grey (2012)

[Extremely Realistic Survival]

The Grey (2012)
IMDB-7.4
RottenTomatoes-78
RJG Rating-85

A plane carrying oil-workers crashes in the middle of a blizzard.But it isnt the harsh cold storm thats threatening the survivors..

Starring- Liam Neeson
Director- Joe Carnahan

Grey is a survival thriller and it sure is chilling...

Liam Neeson takes up another role thats kind of in the same line as of Taken, and as usual he delivers the role with the same intensity..He is the star of the show and he pretty much handles the entire thing by himself..

The story is not exactly new but it isnt dull either...It is intense and gives enough chills..the cliches exist but thankfully it doesnt ruin the experience..

Joe Carnahan (director of A-Team) manages to save this movie from being just another survival tale...the reality of each scene is fully captured and the viewer is brought into the cold harsh lands of Alaska..Earlier in the movie,the plane crash scene was so well done that it raises the standards for the rest of the movie and Joe is able to pull it off..
The only negative part is the slightly dull moments, and some lengthy monologues that at times steal a bit of the tension away..
What could have been an over the top action movie with Liam Neeson kicking ass ,is brilliantly made into a realistic movie with Liam still delivering spine chilling dialogues and kick ass action !

A must-watch..(not for the squeamish)
