A masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2011)

James Franco gives the best performance of his career as Aron Ralston in 127 hours, one of the best films of last year. 127 hours is an uplifting and non stop interesting film that will have you as relieved as Ralston is in the very end.
In a thrilling true story, Aron Ralston is a daredevil who goes mountain climbing one day and realizes its the biggest mistake of his life. He falls in a hole and gets his hand stuck between a rock and a hard place(Thats the name of Ralston's memoir) and has to try and survive.
In a little under an hour and a half, director Danny Boyle's excellent film doesn't go a whole lot of places, but its one of the most interesting films of the year. Franco's performance is this movie. Watching his efforts and his will to escape makes for a gripping film.
I really loved this film. Its the best film of Danny Boyle's career, yes, better than Slumdog millionaire. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. It's a great story. Ralston was very brave for what he did and I found the film to be very inspiring.
In the end, I was so relieved for him and so moved by the rest of the film, that a tear dropped out of me. I'm not ashamed to admit it. This is really one of the many achievement of 2010, and one of my top five favorite films of that year. Bravo. If Colin Firth or Jeff Bridges wasn't nominated for the Oscar, Franco would've deserved it. But Franco has plenty of time to earn an Oscar, so I'm not worried.
