Written and Directed by Danny Boyle Director of Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire and 28 Days Later all of which I enjoyed thoroughly, my expectations were high. I was slightly skeptical that a film about a man stuck with his arm under a rock may be a bit boring though, however the use of flashbacks helped to keep this from happening.
The scene when Aron finally cuts off his arm is brilliantly done. The editing and the music/sound is used to great effect to increase the tension dramatically and despite being very gory the film somehow holds your gaze, you just can't look away.
Overall I enjoyed the film a lot, in part because of it being based on true events. Although I suspect it would be a lot less interesting the second time round.
