Aron Ralston (played by James Franco) is traipsing alone through Utah's Canyonlands National Park, minding his own sweet-natured, loosey-goosey business, when an errant step drops him into a crevasse. That in itself wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't managed to get his right hand stuck between a heavy boulder and the side of the cavern--a cavern that will be his grave, if he doesn't figure out how to get himself out. Danny Boyle's film of this real-life 2003 incident builds up to what we all know is going to happen: Ralston must sever his arm between his elbow and wrist, after a few long, lonely days of avoiding the idea. (Superb casual line delivery by Franco: "So I found this great tourniquet….") Because this is a film by the director of Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting, we can expect a barrage of visual high jinks, despite the fact that this story would seem to be a simple tale of a man stuck in the desert. Boyle deploys flashbacks and fantasies to fill up the screen, plus he gets some mileage out of Ralston's video camera--and, of course, this director can't resist juicing the soundtrack with pop tunes, from Sigur Rós to Edith Piaf to Slumdog composer A.R. Rahman. Maybe Boyle is simply hyperactive, or maybe he's really onto something about what would happen inside the mind of a man left in extremis for an extended period (who wouldn't have a few Boyle-esque hallucinations, under the circumstances?). The cumulative effect is overbearing, but Franco's performance is spirited and endearing--he makes Ralston sufficiently "of life" that you definitely don't want to see this goofball soul be lost.Read full review
Although my husband found this to be rather dull and boring, I enjoyed it and was left thinking about the film for days. James Franco did a superb one-man job. I never cared for him as an actor although I find him to be a most unique and quirky individual! But he really proved himself in this movie. Everyone said I'd never be able to watch the scene where he cuts off his arm. But I did not have to look away. It was done in an effective and powerful yet not overly gory or graphic way. The cinematography is interesting and the scenery is breath-taking. This is not a movie for the faint-of-heart or for those who like a huge cast of characters. If you enjoy a movie where there is a deep message and leaves you contemplating the film long after it's over, you should enjoy this one.Read full review
This moving is amazing, James Franco did a great job. It makes it especially better knowing this is based on a true story. I could not find this movie in stores and thanks to Ebay I now own it! I give this movi 5 stars for the actors and storyline. It is amazing knowing what a human will do to survive. A must see!!

Held my interest. Best part is that it's a true story & at the end of the movie you get to see & hear the person who actually went thru this & luckily survived.
