Drama.

United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"'127 Hours' is a phenomenal piece of work in which a fine actor and an innovatively cinematic director join forces to keep you gasping for oxygen all the way.	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A kinetic, suspenseful visual spectacle. (...) To say that this movie gets under your skin is only barely a figure of speech. It pins you down, shakes you up and leaves you glad to be alive."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Boyle compresses the true story (...) into an intense 93 minutes. (...) his take [Franco's] on Ralston feels both credible and compelling; few actors could have made us care so much"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"'127" Hours offers a daunting challenge to a filmmaker: How do you rivet an audience when your protagonist can't even move? The answer is that there's an awesome freedom to Danny Boyle's filmmaking"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	Danny Boyle pumps every frame of 127 Hours with cinematic adrenaline that declares war on the dull gravity of docudrama. And James Franco does the best, most natural and nuanced acting of his career (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
