127 Hours (2010) 7/10

Starring : James Franco, Amber Tamblyn, Kate Mara
Director : Danny Boyle
Running Time : 93 mins

Whilst on a trip to Moab in Utah, Aron Ralston (Franco) decides to enjoy himself by exploring the wilderness and checking out the canyons and caves in the area, but when he falls into a crevice his arm is trapped under a rock and he spends the next five days trying to survive while figuring out a way to escape from the hole he’s found himself in.

James Franco really makes this movie, which is basically over an hour of a man trying to cut off his own hand. Danny Boyle manages to keep this movie interesting from start to finish, without there being anything close to a lull, but even so it does get to a point when the 127 hours seems more like 200.
