A single adjective to describe this movie, perfect.
Why? 'Cause the movie really has everything you can ask a film, emotions, plot twists, suspense, drama. Danny Boyle this time offers us a true story, treated by a mishap happened to Aron Ralston in 2003. At the risks of exaggeration, almost everything in this movie was perfect, starting with the shooting  technique and photography,to the soundtrack and  the part interpreted by James Franco, absolutely magnificent.
Because you should know that is hard to be the only actor for almost two hours of the movie, and maintain the viewer gussing what will happen next, only with his acting. It must not have been an easy one.
Just think that director Rodrigo Cortes with actor Ryan Reynolds tried a very similar story with his last year movie, Buried, but he didn't  managed to achieve the same result. Frankly the flick was boring, 127 hours it isn't.
However congratulations for the great job Danny Boyle.

Un solo aggettivo per descrivere questo film, perfetto.
Perche' veramente il film ha tutto quello che si puo chiedere ad un film, emozioni, colpi di scena, suspance, dramma e chi piu' ne ha piu' ne metta. Danny Boyle questa volta ci propone una storia vera, trattata da una disavventura capitata nel 2003 a Aron Ralston. A rischi di esagerare, quasi tutto in questo film era perfetto, partendo dalla tecnica di ripresa, passando per la fotografia, alla colonna sonora e non bisogna dimenticare la parte di James Franco, assolutamente magnifico.
Perche' bisogna sapere che e' dura essere l'unico attore per quasi due ore di film, perche' mantere solo con la propria recitazione lo spettatore col fiato in sospeso, non deve essere stato facile.
Basti pensare che la stessa cosa non e' riuscita al film Buried del regista Rodrigo Cortes con Ryan Reynolds, perche' sinceramente il film e' stato di un noiso assoluto, 127 Hours non lo e', anzi.
Comunque complimenti Danny Boyle.
