The 33


Talk about your all time Man Cave!  Wow!  This thing had everything!  Enough canned food for 3 days, dirty water, 33 stinky men in 100 degree heat!  Don't forget about the candles, head lamps and the biggest toilet you have ever seen!  I don't know what all the fuss was about, these guys had it good.  Just ask any married man if they could spend 69 days in their man cave would they do it?  Hell yes!  Okay, so it was a little too far underground and not really much food and oh, they were trapped and dying!  This is the true story of the 33 Chilean miners who were trapped 2000 feet underground for 69 days with only enough food for a few people for 3 days.  They entered an unstable mountain to begin with with no remorse from the owners and to their luck were saved.  The perseverance of the Minister of Mining in Chile, the drillers from around the world and an American who kept hope really decided the fate of these poor guys.  The acting was really good and the intensity of the emotions keeps you on your toes.  Yes, it is in English!  The biggest complaint from the so called critics was that it should have been in Spanish.  Maybe, but after a few minutes you don't even notice and who cares!  Great movie with a lot you can bring out of it.  Give it a watch and its on HBO right now!

FYI:  Banderas met the man he played and asked him to be an adviser on the set.
