The Grey (2011) 58/50

If Jaws had been made with an alpha wolf instead of a rogue shark and Alive had been made with an oil drilling team instead of a rugby team and then the two movies had a baby, you'd get The Grey.

And that's pretty much all you need to know.

Unless, of course, you haven't seen Jaws or Alive.

This is a quiet, slow-moving film. It wasn't boring, but it also wasn't the most riveting movie ever. And it ended pretty much how I thought it was going to end. Full of no surprises. Unless you count its portrayal of the antagonist as a man-eating wolf who has no interest in killing the oil drillers for food but rather out of sport. I had always thought better of wolves.

Sorry I don't have much else to share about this film. But in my defense, there was a shocking lack of abs. And if you haven't seen Jaws, what is wrong with you? Seriously. Get on that.
