7. Liam Neeson And The Alpha Wolf - The Grey
I do love it how Hollywood discovered that if you stick Liam Neeson in a film and have him fight things, people will stump up cash to watch him do it. The technique worked for French Albanians in Taken, shady government agencies in The A-Team, Germany in Unknown, and proper Albanians in Taken 2. In between his busy schedule of beating the filth out of his fellow man, everyone's favourite career-bouncing Irishman decided to take the fight to nature instead in The Grey. In what's become standard form for Neeson, he didn't disappoint, seemingly on a quest to top himself in the wolf-slaughter game he burns them, shoots them, punches them, Macgyvers them and even eats the damn things. Yet it seems as if he saves the best until last confronted by the pack's Alpha, he turns himself into a pain factory augmented by smashed spirit bottles, small knives and no small amount of duct tape. Yet before he can launch himself at this lupine behemoth, the film cuts to black, leaving you cold. What's worse is that we see the outcome of the fight post-credits Neeson and the Alpha semi-spooning after a fight well done. Yet still, we missed Neeson take on his biggest fight of the film, and that just pissed me off, man. You could've at least shown the first vodka-stained punch, Joe Carnahan.
