12/03/12 The Grey (2012)

Liam Neeson plays a glum fellow with a rifle who is in a plane crash in some snowy part of Canada.

Him and some other chaps survive the crash, get attacked by some wolves that behave unrealistically, waddle around in the dark, fall over a bit and make frickin' dumb decisions then die every now and then.


Lots of critics, as well as non-professional idiots, are bigging this film up as being some kinda extended metaphor on the acceptance of mortality. This is primarily conveyed by Liam Neeson being a bit quiet and having flasbacks about his absent missus and father's crap poetry. If you're the kind of thundering bumwit who finds soap-opera storylines emotionally wrentching, than this shit will be like spiritual napalm. If you're an emotional grown-up, you'll find yourself watching a mediocre survival horror that punches at an ASDA Smart Price level of profound.

4.4/10
