logan j. fowler and bill bodkin look at the film where Liam Neeson fights wolves …
Theater, Rent, No Thanks, Undecided: Rent.
I gotta admit, The Grey looks kind of epic. Plane crash in a freezing wilderness starring Liam Neeson and wolves? Yeah, that’s an equation for awesome. While I don’t think this one will be theater fare, I’m sure to pick it up come rental time. I know this Trailer Tuesday breakdown was short, but really, no major analysis here. Liam Neeson. Rabid dogs. It’s gonna be cool.

The annual January Liam Neeson action flick has been unleashed upon us. In 2010, Taken turned out to be a real gem, a fantastic sleeper. Who thought a Liam Neeson action flick would be that entertaining? Then there was Unknown and that was solid, nothing special. I think The Grey will fall somewhere in between these two films in terms of quality. It could be a really solid action flick and if Neeson delivers, like he did in Taken, we’re in store for a really fun movie. I also have a lot of faith in director Joe Carnahan, who has delivered really underrated action films like Narc, Smokin’ Aces and yes, The A-Team. He always evokes fun and dynamic performances from his actors and his camerawork is always unique and interesting. Yet, there’s been nothing in this or any trailer I’ve seen for this film that is really grabbing me by the throat and screaming at me to plop into my local multiplex to see this.
