Once again, Danny Boyle proves that he doesn’t make the same movie twice. Having tackled heroin with “Trainspotting,” youth alienation with “The Beach,” zombies (or viruses if you will) with “28 Days Later,” and Bollywood with his Oscar winning “Slumdog Millionaire,” Danny now moves on to another genre that has until now eluded him: the docudrama. “127 Hour” sees Danny bringing his brand of visual magic to the heroic and horrifically true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston, and he amazingly turns it into a life affirming story that demonstrates just how powerful the will to live is.
