James Franco's performance as a trapped canyoneer who has to cut off his forearm with a dull jacknife or die, is the stuff of legend.
I thought this was a very captivating movie, well done, had my attention and I really felt for him... I can't believe he was stuck there for so long and even though he lost a good portion of his arm he still survived!!
GREAT
Very good
Although there are some parts of this movie that are difficult to watch, the tension created by the superb acting and tightly written story make those moments worth enduring
I love it, very fresh idea.
A good watch
James Franco was very good. Movie was predictable. Scenery and photography were excellent.
Boyle's direction is superb and only pales in comparison to Franco's amazing acting. This film encaptures the devestation of the situation and is a film everyone with a heart for adventure needs to see
Despite its flaws, ranks as one of Boyle's better works, thanks to the power of the story and Franco's performance.
