Human Will Survive..

Rating: 8/10 (13 September 2011)

One of the most inspirational survival movies I've ever seen! 127 Hours is based on the amazing true story of Aron Ralston, a canyoneer who was trapped alone for almost five days in a canyon and finally made it out alive. The movie not only depicts this horrifying experience in detail but also gives it a spiritual depth by relating it to Ralston's life. Although the movie lacks action, there is no way you can feel bored; Boyle manages to make the situation that Ralston (James Franco) finds himself in so intimate that it will totally consume you. It will amaze you how far the human will could be pushed and challenged. As for James Franco, honestly I've never liked him but I have to admit his performance was amazing and one of his best so far. Now 127 Hours is certainly my favorite Danny Boyle movie.
