"The Grey" Review

By Michael Beverage



Only slightly above average cinematography and acting save this movie from being a waste of time.

Alaska is full of these bitter end-of-the-road guys. Liked that they were a bit more dimensional than the usual portrayals.

Liam Nissan is s'posed to be the smart one keeping everyone alive but makes every wrong decision in the book.

"Hey guys...it's dusk...what say we wander off into the woods away from the visible-from-the-air plane wreck where we know wolves are waiting to nom our asses?"

All the guys...in unison "CAPITAL IDEA!"

You gotta side with Darwin here.

This movie wants to be a treatise on life and death and god and nature and masculinity. Life is a non-stop 10k wiffle ball bat to the groin...accept it...face the bat to the groin head on and take it like a man, mang.

It is pretty gory and the effects are good. Otherwise watch fight club again if you need a dose of bro-vado.
