This is based on a true story/event, so if you are aware of that "case" or have read into it (I didn't before I watched the movie), you know the answer. Obviously I won't reveal that in my review. I will say that I originally planned on giving it a 6/10, but the actors involved convinced me to go for the 7.
Don't get me wrong, there are many confinements in their "parts" and there are more than a couple of obstacles that seem to high to overcome. But this is as mentioned based on real people. So while some things probably were changed or added with creative liberty, the general feel of the people involved could not be just changed. And while some criticize Sam Worthingtons character and his "poor" decisions, I personally do disagree. I wouldn't act like him, but while he's a hot head, there is some sense in what he's doing
