James Franco is brilliant

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2011)

127 Hours is the story of Aron Ralston,a mountain climber who decides one day to go on a trek by himself and not tell anyone where he is going.he ends up pinned under a rock in the bottom of a narrow canyon.the rest of the movie is him trying to somehow free himself before he dies as his food and water supplies dry up.there is a particularly gruesome scene in the film that may bother those with a weak stomach.you'll know when it's about to happen,so you'll have chance to look away.James Franco plays Ralston,and is brilliant.the movie succeeds or fails on his performance.the direction by Danny Boyle is good here too.he makes up for the substandard(in my opinion)Slumdog Millionaire.for me,127 Hours is a an 8/10
