The Grey by Joe Carnahan and Ian Mackenzie Jeffers

Finally got time to read “The Grey” by Joe Carnahan and Ian Mackenzie Jeffers. The screenplay is not an easy read. Very heavy, with a lot of action. If this had been from a first time screenwriter, it would likely be frowned upon due to the immense blocks of text. However, the story, about an oil rig crew trying to outrun a pack of wolves after their plane crashes in the Arctic, grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go. It’s a page turner to the end.

I understand Bradley Cooper, star of “The Hangover”, has signed on to star. That wouldn’t have been my first choice for the lead, but I’m sure he’s got the acting chops to pull it off.
