Reviews & comments
The Grey-ish
The Grey Mr Neeson plays another good role, and the film was better than I expected. With jumping scenes like from 'Red Riding Hood' (2011) and Neeson like a 'Bear Grills' leading the pack of guys near the place 'Alive' happened. A guy that wants to end his own life, seems to hang on to it more, when something wants to take it away. This picture is quiet...

Variety
pressThe picture's dialogue-heavy stretches and ambiguous finale could leave ticketbuyers impatient for less chatter and more chomping.

Total Film
pressSupremely led by Liam Neeson, The Grey may be a wilderness tale, pure and simple, but it’s as compelling as they come.

Time Magazine
pressTrue to its grim prospectus, The Grey dwells in haunted machismo to the very end.

The New York Times
pressIt's a fine, tough little movie, technically assured and brutally efficient, with a simple story that ventures into some profound existential territory without making a big fuss about it.

Roger Ebert
pressSit through the entire credits. There's one more shot still to come. Not that you wouldn't be content without it.

New York Daily News
pressThe gristle inside this movie is one of the things that save it from being simply a series of challenges.

Entertainment Weekly
pressAs Neeson No-Brainers go, this one, directed as if on a diet of testosterone injections and shots of absinthe by Neeson's A-Team helmer, Joe Carnahan, is a reasonably entertaining, loopy blend of brawny bonding and Samuel Beckett-approved rumination.

Empire Magazine
pressCarnahan’s best work since Narc, with a powerhouse performance by Neeson and real emotional heft. So, as much Gut Puncher as Wolf Puncher.

Box Office Magazine
pressThis is admirably ambitious, but Carnahan's not nearly good enough a writer or director to pull it off: the results are portentous, muddled and not nearly as entertaining as Neeson's usual face-punching antics.

A.V. Club
pressNeeson brings gravitas to the table, acting as a legitimizing counterweight to the overwrought dialogue and flesh-tearing lupine hysteria. But in a scenario this persistently ludicrous, he can only do so much.
