Director Danny Boyle (Train Spotting & Slumdog Millionaire) takes you through all of the highs and lows of a thrill-seeking climber/canyoneer that ends up stuck between a rock and a hard place. This very smart guy makes some crucially dumb mistakes in this based-on-a-true-story ordeal. James Franco gives an Oscar-worthy performance that can be hard to watch at times. This film is beautifully shot in the picturesque canyons of Utah. It is an amazing story of the human spirit’s will to survive. By the film’s end, you’ll feel like you have witnessed Survivor: Bluejohn Canyon.

Alien gives it 3 "Scooby Doo" stars out of 4.

On this multi-movie screening night, Alien thinks he chose wisely when caught between "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson (Faster) and a "haired" place (Tangled).
