Aron Ralston tumbles into a narrow canyon during a weekend spent adventure sports-ing, and a falling boulder traps his arm. After several days his water runs out, and he is left with only one option. Which involves a blunt penknife.
I understand that the whole point of this film is in the title - the true story of Ralston's 127 hours of being trapped requires us to understand that he spent a long time on his own, struggling with various issues before coming to the immensely courageous decision he made. And James Franco's performance is very good.
But did anyone else find it a bit boring? Am I out of order for wishing he'd done the deed after about 48 hours? I liked the scenery very much, I liked the pretty girls he went swimming with (and had flashbacks over), but I personally spent rather longer in his head than I wished to.
Maybe it's just me.
