Based on actual events, "The 33" is a very intense film. Imagine yourself trapped in a deep mine, 2,300 feet underground, for 69 days with almost no food or water, with temperatures in the neighborhood of 104 degrees and not knowing the entire time if you would be rescued. It's unthinkable to most of us. Ignore the negative reviews. They are the usual collection of mindless children who are only entertained by superhero movies. Real heroes mean nothing to them, because their lives are empty. Also, to prove how shallow our celebrities are, Jennifer Lopez was cast as a lead in this film, but she cancelled because she wanted to appear on "American Idol" instead and dismissed this movie as a "small film".
