User Review:
It’s an unbelievable performance by Franco, walking the road between what once was enthusiasm however now’s wild desperation. Boyle has always been a very stylish director, and, although the settings are limited, 127 Hours is a miracle of visual eye candy.
James Franco draws through emotional performance and shows what actors can do with intense scenarios and little physical space to operate.
Every film that relies on one actor to bring the film demands many of the main characters, but James Franco applies the young excitement that made him so watched that all viewers could not blink.
