If you appreciate the emotional depth Liam Neeson brings to his roles, you’ll surely enjoy “The Grey,” just like the Prime Video users who helped propel it into the Top 10 in the United States catalog.

Everything Liam Neeson touches turns to gold, and “The Grey” is no exception, currently ranking among the most-watched movies on Prime Video in the United States despite its 2011 release.
Based on the short story “Ghost Walker” by Ian MacKenzie Jeffers, who co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Carnahan (known for directing “Smokin’ Aces” and “The A-Team”), the film has garnered widespread acclaim.
Critics praised every aspect, especially Neeson’s performance, with some considering it the best of his career. Roger Ebert gave the film 3.5 stars out of 4, noting its profound impact, which made him leave another screening on the same day.
Liam Neeson’s ‘The Grey’ ranks #2 on Prime Video US
While delivering Liam Neeson’s trademark action, “The Grey” is also a profoundly emotional production, arguably the most moving in his career. It’s no surprise to see it as the No. 2 movie on Prime Video in the United States.
Remarkably, it has outperformed recent hits like “The Boys in the Boat” and “Die Hart 2: Die Harter” in recent weeks and is now in a close competition with the Best Picture Oscar winner “Oppenheimer” for the top spot on the charts.
After their plane crashes in a remote and wild region of Alaska, a group of oil seekers find themselves completely lost in the subarctic tundra. Exposed to freezing temperatures and extreme living conditions, the survivors, led by the tough Ottway, a hunter whose mission is to protect the drillers from wild animals, also face the relentless pursuit of a pack of hungry, enormous wolves.
Starring Liam Neeson alongside Frank Grillo, Dermot Mulroney, Dallas Roberts, Joe Anderson, Nonso Anozie, and others, the picture not only focuses on the group’s physical struggle for survival but also delves deeply into their psychological and existential crises as they confront the inevitability of death.
