This movie gives the term "Hey, what's eating you?" a whole new
meaning. This is a film that stands out over most other disaster
movies for two reasons: It's based on a true story and it depicts how
the will to survive can overcome inconceivable odds. It's about a
Uruguayan rugby squad and some family members whose plane crashed into
the Andes in 1972. In order to survive, they had to eat some of the
dead. This is a very realistic portrayal of a horrible experience.
It keeps you on the edge of your seat and has you rooting for them as
they struggle in the face of the odds. |
