A video review from Nick at Nite:

Touching the Void.

I really wanted to see this movie about a doomed mountain climbing expedition after seeing the dramatic trailer at the theater.  It is not exactly what I expected.  I expected a "based on real events" type movie, ala The Perfect Storm, Alive, Turner & Hootch  . . .  instead what I got was a movie that was somewhere in between an after school special and a Thursday night edition of Dateline.  It is a very compelling story.  The scenery is very dramatic (the Andes Mountains).  I give an Oscar type nod to the Mountain and everything else gets an honorable mention.  I give this movie a "B."
