LOVEFiLM Review The Grey

  • 3 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    The Grey is never on a par with more ambitious survival epics, but it's a pretty solid action movie with take it or leave it existentialist leanings and howling zoological inaccuracies.

Most helpful review The Grey

  • The always-excellent Neeson in an average but watchable film

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Any film starring Liam Neeson has got to be worth watching.

    Whilst this is no exception to that view, it is not one of his best movie choices.

    We need films like this, because the 'survivors in the wilderness' sub-genre is usually solid and reliable.

    'Solid' and 'reliable' sums up this film too.

    The addition of the wolves, rather than merely the usual fight against the elements, makes it more exciting, almost chilling ( no pun intended :))) in places.

    Yes, I'm glad I watched it. There are far too many 1* and 2*

    films escaping onto our screens that any 3 * film ( which I rate this as) is welcome. It is always good to have a number of 3* 'safe' films available at home for those darker nights or rainy days.

    Liam Neeson is one of my favourite movie stars, and nothing in this average film changes my view of him.

    Worth watching , but not among your list of top priorities.

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    Quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. I found myself waiting for the film to pick up and excite me but it didnt it just made me feel very sick watching a dozen men be hunted and eaten alive by wolves. What a waste of time watching....

  • If you like swearing you'll love this

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    Once again a reasonable film spoiled by the constant swearing. Are directors really so incredibly uneducated that they need to inundate the scripts with c***, mother****** etc? It adds nothing to the film and gets SO tedious.

    Unless you really really like Liam Neeson I would suggest avoiding this movie and spend your cash on something else. Dull, plodding, over religious and with a very poor ending. Can I have my money back????

  • Neeson good, film average at best!

    I love Liam Neeson but this is definitely not one of his best. His acting was excellent as always, but the film was at best average and at worst pretty dire. Not my thing I'm afraid.

  • Worth watching by the fireside

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By FINFIN (15 reviews) from ESSEX, ENGLAND , 23 Apr 2013
    Liam Neeson, is his usual self (which for me is good) the story and the photography are good, just that in some parts the survival bit gets a little unreal in parts but there is some good drama. Worth watching though and don't turn it off when the credits come up.
