Slow-Paced, Emotional Story
This movie is inspired by the true story of John Jones. I was unfamiliar with his story of getting stuck in a narrow passageway while caving with his brother in 2009. This movie is a sweet, sad, and surprisingly romantic story. It isn't extremely exciting or entertaining but it is an emotional movie. My wife watched less than 10 minutes with me and still left the room crying. The movie is obviously low budget and some of the acting is not great. But considering what it has to work with, some things are done really well. I'm a little ambivalent about movies where one person is stuck in one spot throughout the whole movie. It's a challenge to keep such movies from getting tiresome. This movie keeps things interesting enough by jumping around between the rescuers above ground, John's situation inside the cave, and the romantic flashbacks with John and his wife. There is also a mysterious figure that keeps popping up in John's hallucinations which creates a little mystery. Some will appreciate this sweet story while others will find it to be too slow. What I appreciated most was the honest dialogue between John and the rescuers who stayed by his side. John felt just like the kind of family man we know from our own lives. He was very relatable which made this story even more emotional.
