Not to diminish the acting ability of James Franco, but the story presented seemed to be missing something. If you've read the book or know more about the background of the main character, you'll know that he's been in extreme life & death elements before. Point being, he is very experienced in outdoor adventures. His story is one of bravery and courage to survive but this film didn't have any real staying power after the end credits.
