Well directed, well acted and a fine portrayal of an interesting story.....but it is a very limited story about a guy who caused himself to get in a jam, took an extraordinary measure by himself and got out of the jam at a high price. It was almost not a story worthy of a full movie even though Danny Boyle makes the most of it. Simply too simple and unique to offer many life lessons or spend 90 minutes on. I love seeing movies over and over, but not this one.
