very nice and involving

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2012)

Although the initial idea of the movie attracted me, I also thought "hmm, so basically we'll see some dude stuck in a ditch for an hour and a half", which sounded a bit boring. Well, that's when you recognize great directors because Danny Boyle manages to keep the tension up all throughout the movie which never comes out as being dull. It is also one of those rare movies that make you feel so closely related to the main carachter that you feel like doing something to change your life at the end of the movie. Personally it made me look past some grudges with some close-ones and put things into perspective, and there are certainly not many movies out there that make you want to do that! Definitely one to watch.
