Trivia

Sebastian Stan was considered to play Aron. See more »

Goofs

When Aron rides his bike off the top of his truck, the camera pushes through the back doors of the vehicle. This vehicle appears to be a cargo van (similar to one that crew may use for transport) with doors that open from the center. This cannot be Aron's vehicle as he drives a truck with tailgate and a canopy. See more »

Crazy Credits

At the very end of the credits is the following paragraph: "Cycling is prohibited in Horseshoe Canyon, and in certain other specific areas of Canyonlands National Park. The filmmakers wish to make clear that neither Aron Ralson, a dedicated wilderness advocate, nor James Franco who portrays Aron in the film, cycled or condone cycling outside of the authorized trails within National Parks. For more information about protecting the Utah Canyons, the filmmakers recommend www.suwa.org". See more »

Sometimes you see a film that really makes a impact on you...
1 February 2014 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

For me '127 Hours' is that film.

I was drawn in by James Franco's portrayal of Aron Ralston, and wasn't disappointed at any point, his free spirit connects you with his character, causing you to experience his emotional and mental struggle later on.

Visually appealing, Danny Boyle uses some great techniques and shots to move the story on. Personally nothing feels forced or wrong, and the effects are believable and realistic.

As like most great films the perfect soundtrack accompanies it. The music adds a greater depth to this film, really showing how much care has gone into it.

This film is an experience and one that everybody should take. I dare you not to be moved by the time the credits roll.
