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

"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.

In the case of The Grey, less would have decidedly been more.

| Jun 20, 2013

The Grey remains a genuinely gripping survival story and a refreshing change from stale urban action flicks.

| Jan 8, 2013

A thoughtful, tough-minded little tale of survival and attrition that sets its sights a bit further than its firepower takes it.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 10, 2012

The film is an intelligent study of the will to live.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 3, 2012

Three-fifths of a solid film!

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 30, 2012

The Grey, despite moments of sublimity, is as predictable as a funeral. When Ottway angrily calls out to God, the nonanswer is sadly redundant.

| Jan 30, 2012

Joe Carnahan's The Grey is easily the filmmaker's most intriguing, unusual and risky effort to date.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 27, 2012

Carnahan, who produced and wrote the film as well as directing it, clearly knows his stuff.

Liam Neeson is one of those actors who validates a film by his mere presence in it. Sure enough, he brings gravitas and credibility to this survival thriller set in the snowy wilderness of Alaska. I wish he'd also brought along a better script.

| Original Score: 2.1/2 | Jan 27, 2012

The Grey is superficial existentialism that hopes for the same goodwill that benefited another recent bad-movie-turned-pop-art: Drive.

| Original Score: 57/100 | Jan 27, 2012

Carnahan's best work since Narc, with a powerhouse performance by Neeson and real emotional heft.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 27, 2012

Hold on tight. It's a true call of the wild.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 27, 2012

'The Grey' has depths and weight that are unexpected.

| Jan 27, 2012

The Grey could have been better yet, but I'm not sure Neeson could.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 27, 2012

"The Grey" may appeal to those who like entrails, tough talk and bad endings. All others beware.

| Original Score: D | Jan 27, 2012

The film's conflicting tones never quite mesh, but some fine acting and powerful moments make "The Grey" watchable, if not entirely compelling.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 27, 2012

It may be too conventional for the art-house crowd, yet too arty for the megaplex. I prefer to call it an unusually reflective blood-and-guts saga.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 27, 2012

The film sustains some suspense and brooding atmosphere for its first half, but eventually the clichs of character and dialogue drag it struggling to ground.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 27, 2012
