Scott Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Watched this last night and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. On paper I wasn't really sure how it would pan out as it is a 2 hour movie based on a guy being trapped on his own for 127 hours. Well, for me, it was absolutely fantastic. The part is played VERY well by James Franko, who I have always found to be very mediocre. It is based on a true story so the event itself did actually happen. It's a very psychological movie, showing (very well IMO) the stages of mortality, solitude, dehydration and starvation. Big thumbs up from me, best film I have watched this year so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasoup Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Was thinking of seeing this but havn't yet, as you said a guy getting trapped for 127hours can't make for a good 2hour long movie, guess I was wrong. I heard the scene were he has to cut his arm off is pretty gruesome but I thought that was going to be the best part of the movie, thus not worth watching. But as I said you have changed my mind and may have to watch this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Surely the thread title should be 'big thumb up'. Just sayin'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I thought it was more of an artistic film than anything else. There wasn't a whole lot to it, but I still thought it was a great watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 This is film similar to buried? About a dude who gets buried alive. Which I thought wasn't too bad considering it was just focused on one guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
