A must see history. It's shocking, it's real!
3 April 2006
Yes, I said history, with an "H", cause it's not a fictional story. But don't expect some Hollywood phony "based-on-real-events" cliché like "Erin Brockovich", which I hated, by the way. "Touching the Void" could easily air on the Discovery Channel, cause it's more like a re-enactment of the real events than the ordinary movie, with the made up characters to dramatize.

Said that, don't be fooled: this history doesn't need any script writers to make it interesting. It stands alone.

Follow the two English climbers to the Andes and you will get a life lesson and an entertaining movie for the price of one, when Simon has to cut off the rope of his still very much alive fellow climber to a hopeless fall, only to find he survived.
