Wow, what a movie! My initial assumption was, "how can they make a movie about a guy stuck in a wash without screwing it up?" Man, was I wrong.
James Franco did a good job of putting you there, in Aron's place. The flashbacks his character had were pretty surreal and hard to watch at times. Trying to imagine being in that situation was hard to stomach. Could I amputate my arm like he did? It's hard to answer that not being in that situation, but the movie sure puts you there.
Checking out IMDB on the flick I saw this piece
What an amazing story of determination and hope, I highly recommend!

I had the same thoughts. At first, I thought some of the editing and things were over-the-top cliche but as the movie progressed I saw what they were doing and appreciated it.
Boyle knows what he's doing. And cutting that tendon was chilling.
