The theatrics feel fake and empty, the hallucinations are Hanna-Barbara cartoonish, and the film's commentary on working conditions for miners comes off as "preaching to the choir" rhetoric.

Based on true stories can be hit or miss, but The 33 hits mostly high notes and features some great performances from Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche and Rodrigo Santoro but it's really the way the cast comes together in the mines (and it is a great ensemble) that truly sets this apart. Plus, this is an event I can actually remember and thus the perspective is greater. A good drama with a lot of heart and a lot of passion and worth the time to see.
