I took a flier on a movie at the cheap seats because I love when Liam Neeson is a badass. This film fell short of any and all expectations in an utterly soul crushing way. Throw away the cool trailers and screen shots and prepare yourself for a boring rendition of Alive mixed with essentially Jaws only with wolves. The movie is preposterous and I found myself cheering for the deaths of Neeson's fellow stranded crew mates. I seriously wanted everyone to die. They force an antagonist out of Frank Grillo that's completely ridiculous and annoying. The wolves are all CGI and easily twice the size of regular wolves. We are led to believe wolves mercilessly hunt anything within 30 miles of their dens and fear nothing. Everyone is an idiot except for Neeson. Nothing badass every happens except the devouring of people by the wolves. You ever get blue-balled at the end when Neeson finally decides to say "FUCK IT" to running and grabs a knife, shatters glass booze bottles and fashions glass knuckles out of them to fight the alpha wolf. It just fucking goes black and cuts away. You can't possible find any joy, redeeming qualities, or fun in this piece of shit. So much potential utterly fucking wasted. Maybe they couldn't get other actors because they filmed in shitty places or something, but this film lacked everything. I didn't give a shit about anyone, not even really Neeson who they show to have no reason for living within 5 minutes of the thing starting.
Bottom Line: 2.1 out of 10. Just a fucking piece of garbage.
