127 Hours

Just back from the cinema having watched 127 hours. The movie follows Aaron Ralston who is a bit of an adventurer but has quite a cavalier attitude. He sets of canyoning in Moab, Utah, with basic equipment, but having neglected to tell anyone where he was going.

In his adventure, a rockfall pins his arm under a rock, and that's where the troubles begin. With negligible water and food, his brain soon starts to fail (which the movie captures very well) and he sets about trying in vain to escape - flashbacks aplenty tell the story of his past, and through the movie you are wondering just how he will escape.

I'd give the movie a solid 9/10, particularly with the excellent soundtrack by A R Rahman. A must see, though it's not essential to see it on the big screen.
