If you were one of the many people sold entirely on the prospect of 2011’s survival thriller The Grey by virtually all of the teasers, trailers, and TV spots dropping the money shot of Liam Neeson preparing to face down a pack of wolves armed with nothing more than broken glass taped to his fists, then you had every right to be disappointed.
After all, Joe Carnahan’s sub-zero story of battling against the odds in the face of the unforgiving force of nature arrived right when the veteran actor’s unexpected reinvention as cinema’s most bankable action hero was in full swing, so it did make sense from a marketing perspective to lean into the promise of Neeson kicking even more ass, even if the movie had no intention of delivering.
