It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Raymond Sierra
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Dana
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I just watched this movie for the second time and enjoyed it even more than the first time. Normally watching a true story a second time is anticlimactic knowing how it ends but this movie is not about a surprise or shock at the end but was purely a story of determination and survival. I read several reviews on this movie prior to writing this one and it was either loved or hated. I think it has to do with the viewers perspective. For me it was very emotional. That may be that I have hiked most of my life and can somewhat relate to the shock of realizing that something horrible has just happened and the process by which reality sets in. The heart of the movie for me was the emotional stages he goes through as he progresses through the emotions of shock, anger, fear, loss of reality, then resolute. To those that have never really ventured out or put themselves it possible danger one might think it was 2 hours of foolish self narrative. For anyone that has ever wondered about the limits of human determination this is a must watch. Give it a chance.

Knowing that this movie is based on a true story, I was wondering how this can be translated into a movie. Can't do much if you only have to "a lone guy stuck in the canyon crack " as a story.

This is a well - known story where a superman mentality proved to be super strong in the end. With little medical knowledge he used instincts, logic and his limited equipment to get out of impossible situation and survive. For his independence, self-sufficiency and his ignorance and naiveté he paid a high price. There can never be enough inspirational stories of bravery. I recommend, the movie delivered great acting, cinematography and realism although I had to skip the butchery part.

This movie is rather successful, at least when you see the basic scenario, making a whole movie about a guy stuck for 127 hours is not easy. But this one is a good movie, we are bored at times but nothing serious. However this film remains a film without a goal and to make a film of an hour and a half on a true story which can be summarized in a few lines is very delicate, too much delicate and it's why it's difficult for this movie to have more than 6/10, it just remains "not bad".
