This movie starts off excellent with a different style of filming and am edgy soundtrack. It quickly becomes fun and enjoyable but almost as quickly as it becomes fun, it goes into a dire situation of life and death. It keeps you hooked the whole time without feeling repetitive, and keeps you hoping that he makes it out alive and gives you such a great feeling of success at the end that you cannot help but cheer and smile. Very worth watching

So I finally had the chance to check out this movie and it was great! Definitely captured the true emotions that could run through us all if we were to be in that situation. It inspires to not give up, to find solutions to anything that may be trapping you even if you relate youself to the movie with a different situation. The best part for me was when he was realizing this moment was ment to happen to help make him a better person and to appreciate more out of life with family and others. Absolutely great!

For some reason, this movie made me cry after *SPOILER* he cuts his arm off. I must be the first one to cry while watching this movie. I guess i was happy, yet disgusted. I hope this doesnt happen to me, but i am very glad that this man had a second chance in life.
