Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

cinemajesty Movie Review: "127 Hours" (2010)Director Danny Boyle had been creating such an fascination with the real-life event book "Beetween a Rock and a Hard Place" by Aron Ralston that he was able to reunite the majority of key figures from the all-around accepted 2008 fast-track success production of "Slumdog Millionaire", including cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle and score composer A.R. Rahman, who eventually bring this stand-alone picture of an young adult taking his turn on the desert-wild Utah, USA with mountain-bike and backpack, meeting stranger females, having a time of their lives in a water-filled cave-pool, breaking-up within hours before the character of Aron, fulminating portrayal by extreme-tastes-indulging actor James Franco, who is able to break-out from his doom-to-cursed Mega-Blockbuster beginnings of being-pinned to a rich-kid-character of Harry Osborne in "Spider-Man" (2002) directed by Sam Raimi.Actresses Kate Mara and Amber Tamblyn perfom in the parts of strange-loving desert-tracking female friends "Megan & Kristi" who are likeable-sketched out feminine girly characters in an adapted screenplay by director and screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, who are able to condense "The Aron Ralston Story" into a gripping 85-minutes-editorial by editor Jon Harris, who then again saves this fairly independent feature distributed by Fox Searchlight to high-end hyping critical approvals at North American Festivals in September 2010, when Danny Boyle can deliver a knock-out, yet with further timidly-received directorial vision, comparing to fellow director Tom Hooper's take of Academy-Award winning succession with "Les Misérables" (2012), when relying completely on his leading actor's performance from video-log to extreme-tight-360-close-ups of bleached-out digital aesthetics in nevertheless editorial-wise exciting arrange angles of cinematography, when the all-talked-about arm-amputation-scene of two and a half minutes can only be enjoyed once to full-blown thriller excitements, before tears fill the eyes of spectre that an historical moment of motion picture extravaganza is gone, never to return in second attempts of revisit.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

riteshk-71503 Knowing that this movie is based on a true story, I was wondering how this can be translated into a movie. Can't do much if you only have to "a lone guy stuck in the canyon crack " as a story.

mistoppi 127 Hours is an interesting movie because its strengths can also be its weaknesses. It's slow, not much happens and it is weirdly surreal. It depends on the audience how it's received. I actually thought this movie would rely more heavily on flashbacks than the actual situation the main character is in. It's better this way. While the cinematography and soundtrack are amazing, this movie still feels a bit weird because of how slow it is. It's very thrilling, very agonising, and it's pace makes it even worse - which makes it of course better.

d-c-20 A pretty emotional, moving film. Simplistic but Franco's performance carries this movie and I really mean that because of the plots simplicity but it had to for the film to be successful. It pulls you in from an almost point of view for most of the movie so you almost feel trapped but on edge with the character thinking of ways to bust yourself free. Rarely do I say a film should be longer but with this one it could and should have been. I say this because I found myself feeling bad for him but barely crying. It didn't feel quite right. While at the end I did cry. After finishing it I thought for a bit about how it just jumped into him being out and about and while that was necessary, I felt it lacked a very strong emotional attachment to the character I was searching for. Perhaps a more front story to see a stronger attachment to family or friends before being lodged by the boulder would have gave this movie a better rating. Regardless it was a good movie and definitely worth a watch.
