The picture's dialogue-heavy stretches and ambiguous finale could leave ticketbuyers impatient for less chatter and more chomping.
Full reviewLiam Neeson leads an oil-rig crew who are left for dead after a plane crash strands them in the wolf-infested Alaskan wilderness. From the director of The A-Team.
Ottway (Neeson) kills wolves for a living, keeping them away from the stationed oil well. After the crash, the lone huntman only has a few days to escort the roughneck survivors out of the icy elements and away from the pack of rogue wolves.

Full reviewSupremely led by Liam Neeson, The Grey may be a wilderness tale, pure and simple, but it’s as compelling as they come.
Full reviewTrue to its grim prospectus, The Grey dwells in haunted machismo to the very end.
Full reviewIt'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.
Full reviewSit through the entire credits. There's one more shot still to come. Not that you wouldn't be content without it.
Full reviewThe gristle inside this movie is one of the things that save it from being simply a series of challenges.
Full reviewAs 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.
Full reviewCarnahan’s best work since Narc, with a powerhouse performance by Neeson and real emotional heft. So, as much Gut Puncher as Wolf Puncher.
Full reviewThis 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.
Full reviewNeeson 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.
Full reviewThe Grey is available to stream in New Zealand now on Google Play and Apple TV and Neon and Academy On Demand.
