In a big hole

The 33 (2015)

Directed by Patricia Riggen this film based on real events stars Antonio Banderas, Rodrigo Santoro, Juliette Binoche and Lou Diamond Philips. Thirty three miners become trapped underground in a Chilean mine and the world watches on as the government attempts to rescue them.

Taking a familiar news item this disaster film provides a decent but shallow over view of the events of the 2010 mining disaster. While the film is a fine watch it never seems to be more than skin deep. The cast and crew do a decent job but at times the script seems to fall back on familiar genre cliches.


3/5
