Back in 2012 when The Grey came out I thought it was one of the best survival movies I’d ever seen. I still love it. When I did a write-up on it I was surprised at the sheer negativity thrown my way because people hated the movie. Ten years later I still don’t care. The Grey is a fantastic story of survival.
Brief Summary: Following a grueling five-week shift at an Alaskan oil refinery, workers led by sharpshooter John Ottway (Liam Neeson) are flying home for a much-needed vacation. A brutal storm causes their plane to crash in the frozen wilderness, and only eight men (Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney), including Ottway, survive. As they trek southward toward civilization and safety, Ottway and his companions must battle mortal injuries, the icy elements, and a pack of hungry wolves.
Beyond the story of man against beast all the while trying to survive frigid conditions, there lies a very touching story. Throughout the movie, Ottway reflects back to his wife who is no longer with him. He contemplates suicide. He contemplates life without the love of his life.
Go pop the popcorn. Have a cold refreshing beverage. Sit back and enjoy the movie!
