Director Danny Boyle
Now as we have come to expect from any Danny Boyle film the direction in 127 Hours is the main attraction. The film is full of the livelyness that Boyle brings to his films with a particually good soundtrack for a film where all the main action takes place in a gorge in the middle of nowwhere!! The camera style bares Boyles signiture style with much successful use of the handheld camera that puts the audience in the place of truely believing that they are with Aron Ralston (The story and events are based on real events) throughout his hideous idea. But due to the nature of the story the film couldn't survive just on Boyles style it needed a strong central performance from James Franco (Spiderman, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) who delievers a good if not quite great performance. Franco looks certain to be about to break into the serious big time after this career making turn and hopefully Boyle will be making more great films for years to come. The rock in this film could of done with more charcter devolpment though ...7 out of 10
