Don't rush to the theater for "The Grey," unless you're a fan of wolves

As a fan of always action-packed and intense Liam Neeson movies, I was very excited to watch his new survival movie, "The Grey."

I found that yes, there was Liam Neeson being a badass, it was super intense, action-packed and it indeed had some scary, determined wolves. However "The Grey" was missing a key ingredient: a good ending!

While I'm not going to spoil it, let me just say that after being at the edge of my seat waiting for the next predictably gruesome death scene and depressed at the very grim plot, I didn't feel like the plot had been resolved when the movie ended. I just walked out of the theater pissed off.

So while "The Grey" is entertaining and the gorgeous scenery of Alaska is great, wait to rent this bad boy. Don't waste a cool $10 like I did, only to be thoroughly disappointed in what could've been another solid Liam flick.
