The Grey 2012

The Grey (2012)     A tense adventure thriller about a group of tough oil rig workers who must fight for their lives in the Alaskan wilderness after their plane crashes miles from civilization.  They make a makeshift campsite at the crash site using debris for firewood, it's bitter cold and they use clothing from luggage to add more layers to their apparel.  This works just for a short time until wolves start to move in on the bodies and the survivors.
     The wolves in this film are not ordinary wolves, maybe they came from the Twilight set instead of the forest?  They are not hunting for food and they get very upset if they are not treated fairly even though that it not what they are doing.  How the survivors managed to gag some of the meat down from one wolf is beyond my endurance?  On top of all this, I did not like the ending.  3* (This movie is OK)

118 min, Action directed by Joe Carnahan with Liam Neeson, Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts, Joe Anderson, Nonso Anozie, Ben Bray, James Badge Dale, Anne Openshaw, Peter Girges, James Bitonti, Jacob Blair.
