Yesterday I saw the movie The Grey with a couple of friends starring Liam Neeson and directed by Joe Carnahan (The A-Team movie). The movie is about oil workers surviving a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness. With only a handful of survivors left it's up to Liam Neeson to take his group to safety. Which is not without danger since their plane crashed in deep wolf territory.

I'm not going to say much more about it, don't want to spoil everything, but I really recommend this movie if you like the adventure-thriller genre. Though when I saw it, it didn't cross my mind but now it seemed like a good solid MacGyver-script when I think about it. Think of it as an heavily upgraded version of Final Approach and The Invisible Killer set in snowy wilderness. If you don't like Liam Neeson think of RDA as MacGyver in this movie leading a bunch of Phoenix-scientists through rough territory.

The movie is very gritty and tense and rated R for language and violence. It gets a score of 6.8/10 on imdb and allmovie gives the movie 4 stars out of 5. And if you get 4 stars out of 5 you can't do anything wrong in my book.

PS: The movie was filmed in Smithers, British Columbia, Canada.

Ever have time to watch it, make sure you do. biggrin.gif



I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.
Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you.
It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.
