like we've NEVER done something idiotic before. Yes, we can all sit on our little chairs and watch the movie and call him an idiot for not telling anyone where he's going or what he's doing. How is that a bad comment about the story in the film? The character himself, and therefore the real person, calls himself these very things! As a loner, he felt invincible, yet as a self declared 'idiot' he has the intelligence to admit how stupid of a thing he had done. Isn't that true of every true story that is portrayed on film? People have commented that Aron Ralston is a loner and an idiot and give the movie 2 stars or less.
Yet we want to see it for ourselves out of curiosity if the story is somewhat interesting after hearing the headlines.
