127 Hours Movie Review

So, I am still working on my Inception review.  That movie is so complicated and amazing that it is taking me much longer to produce that I originally thought.  Either way, I wanted to let you all know about 127 Hours and how much of an awesome movie this is!  Everything up front here, go and see it in the theater if you get the chance!  I am recommending this film 110%.  This film stars James Franco of many great movies such as Pineapple Express, Spiderman and Milk which he was nominated for supporting actor for.  He is pretty much the only character in the movie.  If you enjoyed films such as Castaway where it pretty much centers on one guy through the whole film then you will not have a problem with this flick.  Don't worry though.  James Franco is an excellent actor and keeps your attention through out the whole flick.

This film centers around Aron Ralston, a free spirit, go with the wind kinda guy. Aron is an outdoorsy, nature and adventurist that has been on many a mission before today and many more after today. One fateful day he decided to go trekking in the outback of Moab Utah. A place for hikers, back packers and outdoor bicyclists which he did all of. Aron knows the area like the back of his hand even helping other hikers that could get easily turned around and lost in the wilderness. It is only when Aron decides to climb down a steep cavern, he slips and falls crushing his arm under a giant boulder. That is where things take a turn for the worse. Aron did not tell anyone where he went and only has enough water to last a couple of days.....

If you have ever seen the trailer for this film then you pretty much know what is going to happen. Odds are, you have heard of the courageous though horrific ending to this film. Don't be fooled that this is not a good film or because you know what happens will ruin it because it won't. The performance that James Franco delivers is worthy of every award that is given away. Not to mention, this film is also directed by Danny Boyle of Slum Dog Millionare fame. In my opinion, Danny Boyle is one of the greatest directors making movies out there.

Overall, an amazing film that will keep you awake and excited and rooting for Aron to survive and overcome his dilemma any way that he possibly can.  I found myself after the movie looking up Youtube videos about the real Aron and the story behind the film.  Worth every minute and more!  4 out of 4 pepperonis baby!
