I went into The Grey expecting it to be a typical "boy movie". It exceeded all my expectations. The action and suspense is high, the cinematography is intriguing, and the casting is spot-on. Liam Neeson, I could listen to you talk all day. I could have done without the religious overtones, but they're minimal in comparison to the discussions of life and humanity. Ultimately, The Grey is a deftly crafted film with one heck of an ending straight out of a Dylan Thomas poem. You know the one.

This film is awesome. period. I put the plane sequence up against any plane sequence in recent years & the one in this film will put all others to shame. I still maintain there's a big 'religion' undertone to the movie, especially during the 3rd act but it's not in your face more of 'what would you do', anyway this film is AWESOME. must see.

Audiences who come into The Grey expecting Liam Neeson to beat up a pack of wolves will likely be disappointed. What’s presented is something sophisticated, saying a lot to say both about death and human nature, though starkly uneven. Both topics are massive and maybe tackling just one would have been enough for the two-hour runtime. Cornahan’s ambition in discussing both causes the film to inevitably drag, concluding without making a perfectly concise observation of either. But stylish filmmaking and exhilarating scenes keep The Grey alive and kicking, presenting viewers with a survival tale that’s both exciting and smart.

The Grey is chock full of grit, adrenaline and some of the best editing I've seen in years. Amazing cinematography and a daunting score coupled with fantastic performances by Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney and Frank Grillo make this an adventure you won't want to miss.
