The simplicity of this film was the best part. I wondered how they could make 127 hours in a man's life hold my interest, but I was surprised when it was over... that it was over! My interest was held the entire time, the acting was amazing, the story flowed and I was left speechless and inspired in a good way when the final credits rolled. This is a don't miss opportunity for anyone. Skip the hype and the special effects and go see something true and meaningful this holiday season. P.S. Don't be fooled...it is also very entertaining!
