"The Grim"

This movie is very dark and seems to convey no positive message. The movie is just a procession of death scenes in which faith of any kind is mocked and despair is portrayed as the only reality. Synopsis: 7 people survive a plane crash and spend the next hour being systematically killed by a pack of sadistic, highly intelligent wolves. The only exception is the Christian who, despite his faith, suffers a horrible turn of fate when his foot gets hopelessly caught in a rocky outcrop while he is floating down a river. The frantic rescue attempt is the only time that God is invoked by Liam Neeson's character, to no effect. Immediately after the failed attempt a final plea for divine intervention is made, and 3 minutes later Liam Neeson is dead and the credits roll. "Life sucks folks, get used to it." In fact the only moment of surreal calm in the movie is experienced prior to what is essentially suicide by one of the characters. Thus, the apparent take-away of the film is:" Life sucks, suicide helps, and the best you can hope for is to die on your own terms." Some will call it gritty realism...I call it the depressed rant of an angry athiest.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
