Well, it was a pleasant surprise to sit in the theater and watch The Grey starring Liam Neeson. One reason that was so was the relative lack of star power in the movie. Except for Mr. Neeson, it was possible to concentrate on the characters and the plot of a movie that played homage to a couple of other interesting cinematic efforts, most notably 1993

Set in a remote area of Alaska, The Grey follows a crew from an oil company in a quest for survival after their plane crashes in the middle of nowhere. Liam Neeson is part of the crew and functions as a professional hunter meant to protect the crew from wildlife while they worked on a pipeline.

The film opens setting up the characters to some degree with the primary focus on Neeson
