''[[The Grey]]'' is a survival thriller starring [[Liam Neeson]] and directed by Joe Carnahan (''[[Smokin Aces]]'', ''[[The A-Team (film)|The a Team]]'', ''[[Narc]]''). The film centers around a group of [[Alaska|Alaskan]] oil workers who get caught in a plane crash on the way to Anchorage, and have to both survive the wilderness and fend off attacks by dangerous man-eating wolves. |

The film was released in January 2012, and while some animal rights groups boycotted the film for its "questionable" portrayal of wolves, it was well received critically with critics praising its surprising substance, suspense, and Neeson's particularly powerful performance. |
