I recommend it. If you are squeamish or that ridiculous American-Puritan hypocrisy where you can watch gruesome murders/rape scenes yet decry curse words - I don't recommend it.

Liam Neeson was clearly echoing a lot of the heartbreak he's been going through over losing his wife. Because he has this somberness that is so real. The movie is realistic, dark, and existential. The wolves are truly terrifying. And they don't hollywood it up and make them some evil force. The wolves are simply what they naturally are - territorial hunters. But the fear is real and the gore is gruesome.

Lots of cursing, talking about life, despair, hopelessness, fear, and death. Survival. Being a father. Its really affecting. If you go to movies to be moved and affected, I highly recommend this movie.
