Inspirational one by Danny Boyle .. better than "Slumdog"

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2011)

After that over-hyped (at least to me) Slumdog Millionaire , Danny Boyle's latest movie on climber Aron Ralston's autobiography "Between a Rock and Hard Place" is a far more superior and great movie. The movie is about an adventure of mountain climber Aron Ralston(James Franco), which badly goes wrong. He gets trapped in crack of great canyon under a boulder which badly pinches his right hand to the rock wall and the situation became nigh impossible to free that hand out. Then Aron has to spent almost 5 days in that hole with very limited resource, the movie travels through Aron's various emotions and futile attempt to get rescued.
The movie is all about Aron and thus the performance belongs to James Franco. He is brilliant through-out the movie and specially in the scene where he records a mock talk show featuring himself in his video camera.
A.R.Rahman's music is also quite good ( though not one of his greatest).
Overall it's an inspirational movie and definitely a well deserved Oscar nomination for this movie.
