THE GREY

127 min | R
Liam Neeson, forging a triumphant new career as an action star, could have his biggest high–testosterone success in this atmospheric daredevil thriller. When a plane of oil riggers crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, he becomes the leader of survivors. It is, to say the least, a daunting challenge. The group faces not only the ravages of nature but also the hunger games of wolves who never before have seen humans and view them as unnecessary intruders. There’s even some pensive soul–searching, causing critics to christen THE GREY an action thriller for the intelligent moviegoer.
