Should rely less on flashbacks and focus more on the present survival skills

Rating: 6/10 (18 November 2012)

I do not know how accurate this film is to the actual case, but it has done a good job to cover as much as possible portraying a realistic simulation of such incident. However the film could have done more to reveal certain things -- like how does he poop, how does he stay clean and, how does he not grow his facial hair etc... I am pretty sure the director or screenwriter should know the answers to these issues when they have done enough research and interview on the actual victim himself. It is not an excuse to avoid displaying these survival skills which could have been far more interesting than the too many flashbacks that were being used
Cinematography is unique and Franco did well to carry out probably one of his first main roles in a film.
People will certainly remember this film for a long time for its particularly outstanding climax scene.
