However I still find it bloody annoying and stupid that this is released in the UK 4 months after it was released in the US.
Thanks
It's only two months after. Exactly two months in fact. The US release date was November 5th, the UK release date is January 5th.
Literally everyone in the cinema was squirming and cringing at THAT bit (except me...i must be desensitized or something, lol).
"Those intending to see the film are advised that [it] carries the potential to cause distress and physical discomfort."
I think James Franco is one of the most talented actors around. The movies I have seen him in, I have very much liked his performances. He comes across as a great, genuine guy too.
Have a look at our review and interview with the great Danny Boyle:-

If you compare this to Buried, I actually preferred that film to this because I found I got more attached to Ryan Reynold's character and the ending really affected me more than this - probably because you already knew what was going to happen here.
As far as "that" scene goes .. I only really cringed once when ..
.. but other than that, it didn't really make me queasy or anything like that.
