99 problems and a wolf is one


The Grey (2012)

Directed by Joe Carnahan this film stars Liam Nesson, Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney and Dallas Roberts. A hand full of survivors of a plane crash in Alaska are menaced by a pack of wolves.

This film starts out well with some good atmosphere and plenty of potential but I do not think it ever really capitalises on this. My main problem with the ending is that it is rather abrupt and does not fit in with the character arc of the protagonist, it just seems to come out of nowhere and does not offer is any kind of resolution. It would also help if the threat from the wolves was more consistent rather than cynically brought back every time there is a lull in the pace of the film.

2/5
