The Grey? More like The Great.

On a cold Monday night, I went with about four of my friends to see the film The Grey.  Now I only know that it's February, but I can say with the utmost confidence that The Grey is definitely one of the best films that will ever come out this year.  This movie is definitely not what I was expecting it to be, at all.  It has all the elements that are needed to make one really awesome movie.  It has action, drama, humor, great characters, and a whole lot of suspense.  There wasn't a single moment throughout this movie that I wasn't on the edge of my seat.  There were plenty of twists & turns and action packed scenes, throughout this whole movie.   There was no way that I was able to sit all the way back in my chair.  The story line is incredible for this movie, as well.

Liam Neeson, the main character (Picture founded on Google).
The Grey is based off a short story written years ago, called Ghost Walker.  Liam Neeson plays John Ottway, a man of mystery who is on a plane in Alaska with a oil drilling team that crashes due to the wrath and fury of Mother Nature.  The seven men that survive the plane crash are left in the wilderness to survive and fight not only Mother Nature, but the wolves that surround them that are protecting it, and themselves from what they think are intruders.  The viewers watch the madness unfold as their journey to survival continues on.  The story gives a very realistic view as to what would happen in situations like the one that the seven men face, which in my opinion makes it even more scary and suspenseful.   This movie is definitely a 'must-see' for all.  You'd be missing out on something really great.
