A Game Not For Kids

Now, before I cast my review for all to see I will say that, in any movie, the book, is usually always better. In this case, I'm hoping to people who have read the book (I haven't) it is. The concept for this film was interesting and the idea behind it I found to be promising. Actors played there part better then others and the action, props, and effects were over all good. But I don't know if Tom Stern (cinematographer) decided to do this in his sleep or what, but the shots in this film did not live up to his previous work to say the least; And WHOEVER was the main camera operator for this film needs a lesson or two about steady cam. If it was supposed to be an effect for the movie or if it was edited in this way, whatever the case, it was done badly. Every other shot seem to be a close-up and instead of going into a next shot, the operator just awkwardly panned the camera upwards or downwards like he was rushing to be done with it. Now, the only other objection I have is the violence of it, there are scenes where kids brutally murder other kids. Where I have a problem with this is that this movie is rated PG-13, I don't know why it was decided on that but from what I saw this should have been rated R from the graphic killings of children. There was a good message behind it and for any film, of course, lots of hard work goes into any piece. For the men and women who worked on this project, the 3 stars are for you. For the actual film I would give it 1. I'd wait for this to come out on DVD/Blu-Ray before putting down 10 bucks. But this is just my opinion, go out and decide for yourself.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

One of Liam's Best Performances

From beginning to end The Grey is as intense as it is artistic. Every shot uses the elements to create a truly dramatic piece. May it be the breath from the characters or the blistering blizzards. Really great use of light and landscape; the cinematography is outstanding. The story keeps you intrigued and Liam makes his character seem very real. You can really feel the power and emotion flowing through his character as he fights his biggest enemy, himself. The Grey is one of those films that will keep you wanting more and coming back again and again. After all one must live and die on this day, not the next.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
