Synopsis: a hiker's arm gets stuck under a boulder

My reaction
Concept: Reeeeally was not expecting to like this movie.
Story:
Characters: Yeah, that's right - it's the true story of a guy cutting his arm off, and it has great characters. What the hey?
Dialog:
Pacing: After watching it, I'd have guessed it to be about 2½ hours long. I don't know why that is, though, because it's exciting, fast and certainly never boring.

Subjective Rating: 8/10 (Great, ). Just about as intense as a movie could possibly get. I don't know why that's enough to make me like it. Usually I don't care for these sorts of things that are hard to watch, but this one's different somehow. Maybe it's because when it's at its worst, ick-wise, is when the character is fighting hardest.
Objective Rating (Average):
