Movie Reviews with halochief996: The Grey and Man on a Ledge

The Grey



Liam Neeson is a badass. I mean in Taken he kicked some serious ass with those kung fu moves. He a pretty awesome action star. And at 60 he is still a badass action star. That's why I was really excited to see this new movie, starring him. It was a good movie, but it left me depressed after watching it.

Plot: If you seen the trailers then you probably understand the story. Its based off the short story Ghost Walker by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers. Liam Neeson plays John Ottway, a hunter that protects the workers that work on the Alaskan Oil rigs and pipes from hungry wolves. After working hard for many days and months, the workers along with Ottway get on a plane home, but the plane crashes in the harsh environments of Alaska. Luckily Ottway and a group of survivors survive the plane crash but now they have to deal with the harsh Alaskan environment and a pack of hungry wolves. Its up to Ottway to lead the survivors and make sure they all survive. Its a good story about survival and never giving up.

Genre: Its an action/adventure and suspense/thriller movie. If you think its going to be like Taken with Liam Neeson killing wolves and saving the survivors, you are wrong. Its more about how the group survives and deals with the hardship they face. So you won't be seeing Liam Neeson going around beating up wolves with his bare hands. No Hollywood effects. Instead you will be seeing the survivors run, make survival equipment, contemplate about life, and push their limits to the max. Its a good movie, the actors give great performances and are pretty believable. However I will say the way the movie is presented, it makes me sad and depressed.

Overall: Its a good movie but after I watched it I felt depressed and sad. I mean don't let my opinions stop you from going to see this movie. I think you should go see this movie. There is a lot of morals about life, survival, happiness, and never quitting. However in my opinion its a sad and depressing movie. And I probably wouldn't watch it again.

Man on a Ledge


Sam Worthington is pretty cool. He's been in some good movies like Avatar and in video games like Call of Duty Black Ops. The title of this film is pretty obvious and self explanatory, but the story I have to say is pretty interesting.

Plot: Sam Worthington plays Nick Cassidy, a guy who looks like he's about to jump to his death. He causes a big scene, and the cops and police force are all over the place. However things are not what they seem. There is something bigger going on. In turns out Cassidy is putting on this show in order to prove to everybody he is an innocent man. Will he make it in time to prove his innocence? The story is interesting and different. It keep you interested and hooked.

Genre: Its a drama and suspense/thriller movie. There is plenty of tense moments and really close calls throughout the movie. It keeps the viewers entertained and interested. There are a few action scenes but nothing really intense. Half of the movie you will see scenes of a heist and another half you will see Sam Worthington on a ledge and doing some crazy stunts that almost look like the stunts from The Borne series. The acting is average. Cop lingo.

Overall: Its an interesting and good movie. The story is different and very interesting. The movie does a good job keeping you hooked from beginning to end.
