In A Nutshell- 127 Hours

In A Nutshell Review- 127 Hours 

Based on the amazing true story, 127 hours follows the story of a mountain climber who becomes trapped under a boulder, he then has to resort to desperate measures in order to survive. 

For a film which is mostly set in one claustrophobic place, it is surprisingly gripping and exciting. This is mostly down to the brilliant independent acting of James Franco, to act in such a limited space and still show raw emotion and realism, is a truly fantastic achievement. Towards the end of the film, scenes become hard to watch but due to the building emotions of the 1st half of the film, this scene became bearable and weirdly emotional. The final scene of the film also has to be commented on as I believe that it is one of the greatest scenes of all time. Containing such passion and emotion, this scene perfectly ends the film, this is mostly down to the outstanding cinematography and perfect score.
