In Fiction

Once more into the fray
Into the last good fight I’ll ever know
Live and die on this day
Live and die on this day

I really enjoyed The Grey, and my Liam Neeson appreciation played little bias for once. This is a solid, exciting film that manages to explore some grim themes without going overboard on the symbolism, a fate that many other films before it have unfortunately met in their quest to be ‘deep’. I praise The Grey for braving the storm of melodrama that is mainstream cinema with it’s succinctness and simplicity, making what could have been a bloated mess of metaphors into a suspenseful thriller that is entertaining from beginning to end. Between this and Chronicle, I’m quite happy with how this year has begun in relation to lower budgeted original film releases. Definitely check out this movie, especially if you like Liam Neeson. Oh wait, that’s everyone.
