One of the best movies I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2014)

The story of a man struggling to survive in one of the most hostile environments possibly know by any human being took my breath away. He did not deserve to be there, he was innocent from the beginning, but instead of claiming his innocence, he worked from day one to find a way to scape from all that. He never quit fighting. A lesson to us all. The plots are amazingly driven. The characters arc is strong and understandable from begging to end. Photography is captivating. Acting is precise, and reach the soul of the subtext all the way. The director really knew how to pull together an award winning team. Every aspect of the script is taken care of. The producers went the distance in this one. A masterclass in acting, directing, photography, production but most important, scriptwriting. Thou I did not read the book, I guess the film did justice to it. I'm sure Steven King feels really proud of it. A must see to everyone who loves good films, or pretends to break into the film industry.
