Review of The 33 (2015) by Tvjerry — 17 Nov 2015
Most people will recall this incredible news story from 2010, when 33 miners were trapped for 69 days before being rescued. This cinematic retelling effectively captures the details of this incredible situation, while attempting to establish emotional connections with a handful of the men.
The depiction the dire challenges is presented with dramatic incredulity and the personal moments are mildly involving. It's more fascinating than gripping, but still a well-told story. One weird Hollywood tradition still holds: this takes place in Chile, but everyone speaks English with Spanish accents.
To make things even more confusing, there's one Spanish-speaking reporter and all the writing is in Spanish.
