Review of The Grey (2012) by Dougstewart — 10 Mar 2012
It's an entertaining and thoughtful movie. Not great but certainly interesting enough to see. There are some quibbles: I found the wolf attacks to be too quick: their shockingness because of the surprise vs emphasizing the actual terror of something biting into you.
..which I think would have been a stronger choice; the cinematography is good but the blurriness, and grainy quality got in the way of the movie. I suspect budget may have forced their hand on these...
Neesson carries the movie and the other roles are well done; the conclusion nicely ties the narrative arc with the repeated references of his wife, his Dad's poem and his own desires/fears...that made me find this to be a very powerful experience.
