Review: Liam Neeson stuns in the terrifying, profound survival film "The Grey"

Film Rating: A “The Grey” is an aptly titled film, for the main character, Ottway, exists inside of it. The Grey, to my mind, is the space between life and death, the place where those without an interest in living or in dying exist, and Ottway, played by Liam Neeson, has been there for a long time. From the moment we first meet him, he is haunted by an unknown trauma and living no longer holds any allure for him. But he cannot die. His fear is too great. He has relocated himself to an obscure oilrig in Alaska, far away from civilization, happiness, and hope, and spends his days protecting the unruly men who work there by shooting the wolves that breach the perimeter. He will not die, but he can no longer live, so this is the slice of melancholy he has carved for himself.
