Audience Reviews for 127 Hours

• Dec 28, 2019

  I can certainly appreciate the lengths that those involved in 127 Hours went to. Being that the movie is 90% bottle-episode, wherein the lead doesn't even have the luxury of something as simple as being allowed to pace about, it's not unfair to say that 127 Hours doesn't have a whole lot going on. To try and inject a bit of life into it, director Danny Boyle throws in a number of unique filming styles, and I'll absolutely give props to him for that outside-the-box sort of thinking, but it doesn't actually change the fact that there's still not a whole lot going on. Franco is not a bad actor, but it's a big ask of someone to run something like this solo, and it ends up being a bigger one than he can fully manage. 127 Hours is not something I ever found fully engaging. Oft-intense, and kind of gross, but not fully engaging.

  An exciting start with lovely cinematography only serves to make the bulk of the movie seem painfully dull as our protagonist becomes literally stuck between a rock and hard place. Unfortunately, it's not really worth the pain.

  127 Hours manages to be gripping despite its incredibly small scope, thanks largely to a strong performance by James Franco and kinetic direction by Danny Boyle.

  Danny Boyle is an hyperactive boy. He may give in to the mainstream audience's sensibilities, but he had the respectable talent of transforming a harrowing survival story - and therefore an authentic horror account - into an inspiring survival drama utilizing the always amazing work of A.R. Rahman, contrasting styles and throwing a thought-provoking reflection in the process regarding how much we value every single element in our lives, from family to anecdotes an our basic human needs for surviving. With Aronofsky editing, Terry Gilliam angles for shits and kicks, and an Abel-Gance-like splitting of the screen into three parts, we have a proper true story and an interesting character analysis for the purpose of dramatization thanks to its visual versatility, even if I still cannot stop thinking whether if the film could have worked better with a more serious tone, perhaps a real documentary. I wish I could have felt the claustrophobia, but our good boy Danny wouldn't just keep still. Heh, but how can I blame him? This will make you hug your bed, be responsible towards your mom saying when and where you are going, and make you go to the nearest store to buy a Gatorade. 65/100
