The Grey is interesting for about 15-20 minutes. Then, I completely lost interest, because of all the elements that don't really make sense.

No. Redeeming. Qualities. This was pure bad, which is misleading because Liam Neeson is normally very respectable. Not even he could save this trainwreck. Dermot Mulroney was quite entertaining but there was simply no plot to speak of, dialogue was lame and tiresome. It's like the producers played a big practical joke on everyone. Avoid at all cost because they don't get much worse than this. It borders on B movie!

Big disappointment. Expected much more than unrealistic and ludicrous survival strategies and bad dialogue. It was like a plane crash in the hood, every second word was the F-bomb. The plot was weak. The ending was even weaker.

In this man versus wilderness film, we feel the harsh conditions men are subjected to in their attempt to survive. Liam Neeson easily carries this film with some good supporting cast.
| 7/10 | paulleslie12@ - 406 reviews 6.14.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I usually like Liam Neeson in most movies but not a big fan of this one. Hard to believe that wolves would act this way, hard to connect with any of the characters, and the wolves also looked pretty phoney. I thought the crash scene was fairly well done but the story went downhill after that.

So glad that I didn't have to pay to see this movie, was interesting to see just how the men were going to die... that was as entertaining as it got.
| 5/10 | colleenklock@ - 27 reviews 6.2.2012 - age: 36-49 |
It was okay. Lots of positive hype for it but it's a pretty simple story. The wolves look horrible though and it really detracted from the movie considering everything else looked authentic.
| 6/10 | parker_2@ - 297 reviews 6.1.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Well Liam is excellent but the ending leaves something of a bad taste in your mouth. So while the movie takes you on a 2 hour long journey, the end is not worth the wait.
| 6/10 | sacoca_@ - 653 reviews 5.25.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Bad movie from the start to the end, not worthy at all... I saw this at home and I was trying hard not to shut it off, saw it just coz I had my computer near to lose time while it ended and saw the hole thing before saying it's boring, bad and lame.
| 2/10 | jaguar-soul@ - 49 reviews 5.14.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Probably a 6.5, but meh. Not a bad flick, but some out to lunch scenes that just didn't make sense. There was one part where they had to cross an obstacle, and it was pretty impressive, to get away from the wolves. What transpires is just foolish. I mean, how did the wolves figure that situation out. Lots of that kinda stuff. The whole time you're asking yourself, come on! Liam was pretty bang on though, and the scenery was kinda epic. Not a bad movie, not a great movie.

Very unrealistic movie. No attempt by survivors to survive other than walking into the unknown wilderness. The basics of bushcraft escaped them. Was disgusted and knew they would all die one by one.
| 4/10 | lynxear@ - 11 reviews 5.5.2012 - age: 50+ |
A crew of oilfield workers survive a plane wreck only to be in the middle of the arctic surrounded by wolves. My interpretation, purgatory at its best, the devil dogs close behind, awaiting another soul. Though maybe each survivor can make up for their past mistakes by honoring one another with compassion, or lack their of, and define their true colors resulting in eternal judgement delivered by merciless demon hounds.
| 8/10 | photosundown@ - 25 reviews 5.2.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Suspense was there but I kinda knew where it was going too. Glad I rented it instead.
| 6/10 | shazjoao@ - 1728 reviews 4.9.2012 |
Note a very noteworthy nor memorable film. Stereotype characters with thin plot line. Watching Neeson is the only redeeming feature.
| 5/10 | sigalius@ - 2 reviews 4.2.2012 - age: 50+ |
Gives wolves bad PR, like Disney did with The Big Bad Wolf.
| 6/10 | garyglobal@ - 11 reviews 3.20.2012 - age: 50+ |
Good action movie. Realistic in a lot of ways. The scenery alone is worth the money. Liam Neeson does a great job in this film. Very touching ending.
| 7/10 | orkelly@ - 80 reviews 3.18.2012 - age: 50+ |
I normally don't like these survivor-type movies (too grim for my liking), but this one had me on the edge of my seat, mouth gaping. Liam Neeson, as always, very good.
| 9/10 | spoodles7@ - 17 reviews 3.14.2012 - age: 36-49 |
There is plenty of suspense but a few instances where The Girl Guide Handbook would have really helped these guys out (how to dress a wound, how to protect yourself from a snowstorm in a very snowy area, etc.) Because of that, you can't give this film a higher rating. Also, if you go see it, stay until AFTER the credits roll. Most of the audience left during the credits and didn't see a final shot, shown after the credits rolled, that changes the ending of the story! There is NO indication during the rolling of the credits that something else is coming. I read about the ending on-line after seeing the film; I missed it at the cinema :(
| 6/10 | damedenise@ - 10 reviews 3.14.2012 - age: 50+ |
It was not bad, unfortunately the wolves were "over- demonized" it was hard to take them serious... otherwise the movie was good.
| 7/10 | pantal@ - 68 reviews 3.14.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I thought the movie was pretty good. A lot of people didn't like the ending but it fit perfectly to the theme of the movie. I didn't really care for the graphics on the wolf scenes though. I think they could have done a better job with that.
| 7/10 | gman129@ - 32 reviews 3.7.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Not a very well done movie, I love surviver movies, and this 1 bites when you remember how much time and money you wasted seeing it. Wolves don't eat people or hunt them, domestic dogs are by far more dangerous with 100s of reported attacks every year. With less than 10 reports of wolf attacks in over 100 years why would anyone think this film's story line is remotely plausible. Too bad this story lacks imagination, the setting's great with good actors.
| 5/10 | james@ - 3 reviews 3.3.2012 - age: 26-35 |
This movie is a masterpiece, definitely gonna be one of the best movies of all time. If you read any dislike comments, that's because they are young; this movie is not meant for kids. Only 17 and over; unless you are "Grown Up" for your age. Such a heart-felt movie, while dealing with the most ridiculous situation. MUST WATCH.
| 9/10 | zylex@ - first review 3.3.2012 - age: 18-25 |
Yeah pretty stupid at most points. So unbelievable and the guys portrayed are pretty stupid. I like Liam but this was one poor movie.
| 4/10 | asneddon@ - 14 reviews 3.2.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Boring not worth admission. To predictable, please Liam don't waste a great talent.
| 5/10 | skipper@ - 4 reviews 3.1.2012 - age: 50+ |
More BS about wolves. Worst movie I have ever seen.
| 1/10 | crazyhorse44@ - first review 2.29.2012 - age: 50+ |
This movie was terrible! It was extremely depressing, had no plot and no redemption - not for the characters and not for the movie. Too bad about Liam Neeson being in it, cause I thnk he's a pretty good actor...
| 2/10 | carebear@ - 10 reviews 2.25.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I like Liam Neeson but he must have been hard up for cash to make this movie... I could almost predict who was going to be eaten next... the sound was poor too! Very hard to hear what they were saying... very disappointed in the movie as a whole... and the ending sucked.

This is the first film in a long time that portrayed a true human drama. The men start out raw and base, then find their individual humanity through suffering. One may benefit from reading "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl prior to viewing the film. If you saw the film and did not like the ending because it did not play out the final conflict, then you went to the wrong film. The ending was perfect. Go see Star Wars next time.

It's a very good movie, and exciting to watch.

Amazing movie, a good nail bitter! I recommend it to everyone! A must see.

The plot was far from the truth as far a the behaviour of wolves - but I knew this before going and Liam Neeson said so in an interview "These are MOVIE wolves" he said. Some parts are too far fetched - survivors jumping a 30' ravine as the wolves are on their trail behind them only to find another pack of wolves waiting at the base of the tree that they just jumped over the gorge to - must have been wolves with telepathy knowing that the survivors would be across the revine? The cinematography is excellent - Liam Leeson is good - a good story to watch if you can put your knowledge of wolves away for 2 hours.

Liam Neeson is the only survivor of a weekend in the woods. It is the worst story of survival I have ever seen. The characters are cardboard and the drama is false. I was actually cheering for the wolves so this movie could end. Everything and I sincerely mean everything that this movie did was the wrong choice. Stupid and wrong. Next time, they should make a realistic movie.
| 4/10 | donovan.bd@ - first review 2.23.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Here's one that u can't miss for an adrenaline rush. Where survival is the key. Good cast, characters & story that must battle the elements of the cold, rogue wolves, serious injuries & growling need for hunger. This is a keeper for Blu Ray or DVD.
| 8/10 | lb10jc82@ - 72 reviews 2.23.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Great movie, I loved the suspense and the survival story in it. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for young kids though. I found it a gripping story about how the ruthless side of nature can test you. But in this movie it tests the audience as well as the characters. I thought the wolves were a bit exaggerated in how territorial they were. I loved the plot and thought Neeson gave a gripping performance, possibly the best I've ever seen him give. [...]
| 7/10 | kclos90@ - 12 reviews 2.22.2012 - age: 18-25 |
I did not think I would like this movie simply because I thought it would be a movie about a guy chasing wolves... turns out the story is way different. Some say that the ending is blah, I think it was pretty obvious how the movie ended. I truly enjoyed this movie.
| 9/10 | georgiana.stroe@ - 84 reviews 2.22.2012 - age: 26-35 |
It's a masterpeice because, because, I can't really explain it, because it's an awesome movie. So please go watch it!!! Peace Out!
| 10/10 | kaity987@ - first review 2.21.2012 - age: 1-12 |
Gory movie, I love Liam Neeson and believe he did a fantastic performance. Everyone to their own! I believe this is a must see, though Wolves are not the creatures they portray them out to be in this movie.
| 8/10 | amandaloriedemarcke@ - 2 reviews 2.20.2012 - age: 18-25 |
It was just the most disgusting movie ever! Don't waste your money. I felt nauseous after this movie. The ending is horrible too.
| 1/10 | marley@ - 4 reviews 2.20.2012 - age: 18-25 |
The movie takes wolves and turns them into man eating monsters when in real life they would never ever stalk humans unless there was no food left in the world. Ya it saws rogue pack of wolves but an entire pack never be rogue, it's hard enough to find any rogue animal as it is.
| 1/10 | bergman98@ - 2 reviews 2.19.2012 - age: 13-17 |
No action movie. Plot is invisible, ending is incomplete. Save your $$$, and don't see it. In fact, don't waste your $$$ on renting it either!
| 4/10 | chevy@ - 3 reviews 2.18.2012 - age: 50+ |
Ending wasn't the greatest... Although the acting was excellent... good storyline as well... Just wished it would've ended better!
| 6/10 | kruschinskec@ - first review 2.18.2012 - age: 18-25 |
If this is supposed to be a realistic, could happen show - someone didn't research wolves very well. Shows like this are why wolves are becoming an endangered species.
| 5/10 | smlagace@ - first review 2.18.2012 - age: 50+ |
I enjoyed this movie. Many who disagree I don't think really understand the point, which was all in the poem.
| 8/10 | movielover@ - first review 2.18.2012 - age: 36-49 |
If you're thinking this is an action flick, you'd be wrong - sort of. The movie is actually surprisingly philosophical, which seems to be its main interest. The terrible jeopardy the characters of the movie are in seem meant simply to exaggerate the philosphical elements of the film. Questions about purpose of life, meeting death, the existence of God, moral values, etc. get a rough and rather superficial treatment through the events of the movie. The lame, shallow, and excessively foul-mouthed reasoning offered by the characters is about what you'd expect from a bunch of "rig pigs." I appreciate the attempt to dig deeper into the important question of life, but the results of doing so in this film are predictably pathetic. And the final, bitter irony at the end of the film just left me shaking my head at the message of utter futility and useless desperation purveyed by it. There are much better stories to engage your mind. Go see them instead!
| 4/10 | nwaikikai@ - 41 reviews 2.18.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Quite an interesting choice for Liam Neeson the twist that he is actually a hunter protecting the Rig Pigs is good. The best way to describe this is, Snakes on a Plane in Alaska in harsh conditions but with wolves. I saw Safe House a couple of days after this, The Grey was better.
