After watching it, I simply sat and struggled to with the emotions welling inside me. What James Franco does so well in his performance as Aron Ralston is that he doesn't play it too dramatically or operatic. Ralston wasn't a Shakespearean actor delivering a death soliloquy; he was a human being who sincerely thought hat he was going to die.
I think that the hardest thing for an actor to do is to be able to act in such a confined space for such a long time. The camera work is astonishing; it pans across the desert and the canyon to show how isolated Ralston was during his entrapment.
Also the makeup done to simulate the amputation is gory and intensely well done.
Overall, 5 out of 5 Stars.
