“127 Hours” has earned glowing reviews as well as six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for star James Franco. The film’s artistic merit has stirred little debate, but “127 Hours” may be suffering from the “Not For The Squeamish” syndrome, which afflicts certain motion pictures that contain scenes guaranteed to at least make you squirm.
The Danny Boyle-directed drama is based on the true story of Aron Ralston, who falls into a crevice while on a hike, has his arm pinned by a large rock and eventually has to cut it off in order to survive.
