It's just sad that only five of us were in the theater. I wish more people would be able to see this film.
Just to be trapped that deep for a couple days could make a person go loco, but since they had each other, as led by a great man of valor called Mario Sepulveda(Banderas), they were able to resolve their differences as they helped each other to survive.
It was not easy. They only had few food supplies to be EQUALLY divided each day(to give you an idea, imagine a small can of tuna being rationed to 33 MEN).

This was (the handsome genius) James Horner's last project and he ended his career with a bang before flying up to heaven the middle of this year. The music helped bring out the different emotions of the audience and though they most probably filmed it without music, the different feelings of the actors were enhanced by Mr. Horner's masterpieces and arrangements.
