From there on in, almost nothing can be revealed about the central question gripping both the audience and these frightened men: Which of them will live and which will die? The Grey?s obsessive focus on this question, along with its episodic bouts of sudden, gruesome violence, may make it seem to some viewers like a sadistic pick-?em-off exploitation film. But, unlike in Carnahan?s earlier film Smokin?Aces (he also directed Narc and The A-Team), every death in The Grey is experienced as a singular, tragic, and unrepeatable event: That person who was there a minute ago is gone. There?s an extraordinary scene early on in which, just after the crash, Neeson?s character gently encourages a dying man to let go and accept his fate as his fellow survivors look on in stunned horror. An hour in, you start to realize that that small but powerful moment was a template for the entire movie.
