THE GREY [2012]

Liam Neeson continues his run of angry, violent revenge/survival films in the unsettling and dreary The Grey.
Directed by Joe Carnahan, this suspenseful piece of depression tells the story of plane crash survivors struggling to stay alive in the wilderness of Alaska while being hunted down by a pack of vicious wolves.
The Grey is brutal, unapologetic and void of all hope yet manages to wrap all that around a meaningful heart that allows you to actually care.  
Plus, those wolves are feckin' scary.

3½ leaps of faith out of 5
