Grizzly is about to ride the wave of documentary-mania that is sweeping Britain’s DVD collectors at the moment. It should be grateful for the leg-up. Troy’s incessant jabbering brought forth only two memorable moments: his speech about how he’d rather have a knife than a gun, and the film’s one truly memorable section, a chilling description of the grizzly attack that set him off on his quest. But 90% of this documentary is filler. At an hour and ten minutes, it feels extremely stretched … I lost count of the number of shots we had to sit through of that bloody suit being winched, dangled, balanced and generally leant up against stuff. Troy the protagonist talks nineteen to the dozen but has nothing interesting to say. He’s the sort of guy you’d humour until you could find an opportunity to politely leave his presence. And don’t even get me started on the anti-climax … They even blew the potentially fabulous scenery - poorly filmed on low-grade stock, Project Grizzly isn’t even visually impressive. Alongside other recent, far more memorable documentaries such as Capturing The Friedmans, Bus 174, Spellbound etc etc (yes, I’m one of the docu-maniacs), Project Grizzly looks utterly threadbare.
