PANEL ROOM 

The film has opened to some strong reviews and for a January release, these are certainly impressive. One will have to wait to see if these positive reviews will help the film to rake in some big bucks at the box office. 


The Grey is an exciting tale of survival, populated with fleshed-out characters and a surprising philosophical agenda. RottenTomatoes   6.6/ 10  (75%)


The computer-generated wolves have more personality than any of the dull characters in The Grey.   Claudia Puig/ USA Today 

Despite some cliches, it’s a mostly gripping survival story, expertly shot and anchored by Neeson’s powerful performance. Frank Swietek / OneGuysOpinion B


I sat regarding the screen with mounting dread  Roger Ebert  3.5 /4 


Call "The Grey" "Deliverance" Lite, with snow, and wolves. And call it a solid January surprise.
