Review of The Grey

The Grey (2011)

The Grey is about Ottway (Liam Neeson, you don't find out what his first name is until the end) who's a sniper protecting oil drillers from the dangers they can not see. On their way home their plane crashes in the middle of nowhere and only seven of them survive including Liam Neeson. Packs of wolves then hunt them while they're trying to get back home.

The first ten to twenty minutes of The Grey is one of my favorite openings I've ever seen. It was beautifully filmed-especially the part when Liam Neeson walks into a bar and suddenly all the sound is blocked out and the camera is focused on his face-it's amazing. Liam Neeson is fantastic in this role. He plays a man who has just lost his wife and you actually believe that he could help save these men. The script was great. When all of the men are sitting around a fire and talking about their family or what they want to do one more time, Liam Neeson has a five minute monologue about his father that's very moving. Writer- director Joe Carnahan Is fantastic at filming action scenes. You feel for the characters, Liam Neeson is very good. I thought that it was an amazing film and would recommend to see this movie in theaters.
