Hugely underrepresented by its film trailer. It is reminiscent in some aspects of O Brother Where Art Though, in the sense of it's progressive almost episodic introduction of important characters, it's brilliant use of music, and the historical construction of a diverse American South --in this case Mississippi-- from our near past. The camera work is spot on, the color grading in a league of it's own, and each character compliments the stellar cast. This is a well constructed, genuinely fun horror film, with likeable characters and witty dialogue: this film ebbs charisma. Would definitely highly recommend.

This film is a magnificently executed adaptation of a real-world rescue which attracted international attention. It is a testament to humility, perseverance and cooperation.

I am an open water diver, and find cave diving terrifying. I cannot begin to wrap my head around the complexity of a cave rescue. The bravery of all those involved in saving these Thai children is laudable and faithfully represented by Ron Howard. Darkness, strong currents, falling rocks, tight cave entrances and an almost 3k of passages underwater presented a daunting challenge to the international team of volunteers who risked their own lives to rescue the stranded children. Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell lend their undeniable talent to this understated gem. The director also makes a conscious effort to respectfully portray the vitality of the Thai people's faith, the sacrifices made by their farmers, and the resolve shown by youths who faced death as a team.

With time running out for those trapped, it is important to remember that "real-life's tony stark" and the world's wealthiest man sought to capitalize on the relief effort, sending a Submarine which he reminded the world was developed by engineers at SpaceX. Upon being rejected, King Twit launched an unhinged attack on one of the divers who helped coordinate the rescue. I hope one day he will stoop to watching this movie.
