The Grey This film inspired biggest disappointment list!!! 2/4 stars
Before i begin reviewing this so-so film i have to mention that this film has inspired me to create a new movie list entitled 'Biggest Hollywood Disappointments' that will place this movie at #1 and probably will remain #1 for some time. I had such high hopes upon seeing the trailer for this. I am not the biggest Liam Neeson fan at all although at times i will agree he shines and can actually be quite cool. (His performance in the Taken films for example) I had heard, which later turned out to be a lot of hooey, that he of coarse spends a majority of the film battling wolves of gigantic proportions, sure their were wolf attacks unfortunately though too dark and fast to even see the wolf pack at times, however none involved Neeson's character like i was told. Now for those that haven't seen the film and plan on it some day can stop reading my next part of this review...go ahead i'll wait... OK their is this huge 'alpha' male wolf who of coarse is the leader of the pack that we see quite often throughout and it doesn't take a course in brain surgery to know that sooner or later the wolf and Neeson's character are going to bang heads, fast-forward to the ending Neeson is cornered, the lone survivor, sitting right smack dab in the wolf's den when we see the 'alpha male' appear growling as Liam is getting himself ready by strapping broken small airplane booze bottles to his knuckles. Looks like it's going to be the ultimate showdown of man vs beast...they lunge at each other....the screen goes black and credits start to rise? I'm like screaming now at my TV " NO NO NO!! WTF????"
All that tremendous build up for what? The characters in the film i hardly felt for except for a couple and the storyline was basically the equivalent of any Friday The 13th film ...slowly the cast is getting killed one by one..only the killers aren't Jason...but a pack of wolves. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
If you enjoy wolf films that are far fetched then may i suggest this to you...Me, myself? I'll chalk this one up to be the biggest disappointment of 2012..
