Oscar reviews #2

127 Hours



127 hours is directed by the same dude who brought you Slumdog Millionaire. You'd think a movie about a guy trapped in the middle of nowhere with his arm crushed under a boulder wouldn't make for a great movie, but it does.

I found it compelling enough to watch the whole thing and James Franco did an excellent job in the lead role. However, with bones breaking and dull surgical tools brandished, you might want to rethink watching this film if you're squeamish.

It won't win a god damn thing come Oscar night, but I do recommend it for watching and you won't have to give up your right arm to do it.
