The 33 is exactly the movie that you
expect. Based on the harrowing true-life tale of survival of Chilean miners who
were trapped underground for more than two months after a mine collapse in
2010, it is a tremendous tale of survival. This is a truly amazing story of
perseverance in the face of immeasurable odds. Told as it is, however, as
incredible as the events are, given that much more weight because they actually
happened, the film plays like an investigative news report with some cheesy
triumphant speeches thrown into the mix.
