Typical Danny Boyle Movie

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2011)

"127 Hours" is based on a true story of Aron Ralston. If you don't know who Ralston is then the ending might be a big surprise to you. It's quite inspiring and superior. Anyways the filmmaking was obviously decent. Danny Boyle's directing is a little bit overrated. Then the strong performance of James Franco. "127 Hours" is a movie that you already know what it's going to be.
This can be called "Buried" with flashbacks and origins of the incident. "127 Hours" is non-fiction and Danny Boyle wanna show the real gore that happened. Which is a good thing. Boyle is using his same old directing style but now it has montage and some product placement. James Franco's performance was pretty strong and the cinematography is definitely good.
Danny Boyle's movies are usually overrated but it is still entertaining though. It's definitely worth watching but you might get disappointed if you are expecting something enormous. "127 Hours" is a plain Danny Boyle movie and again it's obviously decent.
