Liam Neeson, in his 50s, convincingly, and even poetically, takes himself to another place when playing these survival and revenge roles at his age.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2024

Joe Carnahan has crafted a bone-chilling and relentless journey into the void.

| Feb 6, 2024

"The Grey" explores man's most frightening questions...if there's an afterlife or if "dead is dead"...our fear of heights, flights, drowning or dying alone.

| Nov 6, 2023

An unforgivingly brutal, brilliantly acted, beautifully shot motion picture.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 23, 2023

All this talk could have been dull, but Carnahan keeps it interesting via extensive use of intimate, close-up, almost claustrophobic shots.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 29, 2021

An entertaining popcorn flick for those who appreciate stark suspense thrillers.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 9, 2020

...anyone going in wanting more than it says on the tin will be pleasantly surprised, but a little frustrated at the end product.

| Feb 14, 2020

You have to hand it to Neeson, however. This is one stubbornly committed performance, as he faces the herculean task of defeating the wolves, the cold-and some monstrous flaws in the script.

| Jul 29, 2019

A tremendous film - a fierce and exciting thriller that sets the bar high in a very young year. It's Neeson's best film in a long, long time.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 8, 2019

This is a film that has surprising depth. There is a lot going on underneath the rigid exterior, making The Grey a cut above standard action fare.

| May 7, 2019

There's no doubt "The Grey" is the first film since "Narc" where Carnahan's words and prowess for action have come together so harmoniously, making the howls in the background even more jarring.

| Dec 17, 2018

An enthralling study of man's breakdown when faced with nature's raw elements and the base instinct for survival.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 13, 2018

It is a dark, uninspired story that left me wondering why anyone would make this movie. I'm not a big fan of nihilism.

| Nov 10, 2018

What The Grey suggests is that Carnahan is a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of filmmaker: extremely capable within a genre, but also willing to think about it critically.

| Jan 9, 2018

Overall, The Grey is a solid movie that thinks a bit deeper than the usual action movie does and it features a strong performance from Neeson.

| Oct 23, 2017

Liam Neeson can always be depended upon to give a good performance, regardless of the material, but here he truly excels.

| Sep 18, 2017

The Grey isn't just about hunted men, although this does provide plenty of relentless tension throughout the film, but about the will to live.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 11, 2017

Jack London cozies up to Frederick Nietzsche in The Grey, a sweaty-palmed action film about survival of the fittest.

| Aug 30, 2017

While The Grey exhibits a highly commendable mastery of storytelling and an innate balance of suspense and introspective reflection, the film has failings that can be hard to overlook.

| Feb 13, 2017

Director Joe Carnahan says, 'If you're afraid of wild animals or plane travel, this movie will put you off for a good, long time.' Really? One wants to know -- why is that a good thing?
