Thirteen Lives
It’s June 2018 in Thailand after a soccer game, several boys & their coach go to explore a cave at a national park around 3pm. Their plans to celebrate a 7pm birthday party are interrupted by an unexpected early monsoon. This true story event attracts world-wide attention as thousands of locals & foreigners come together to try to rescue the boys trapped deep within the cave. As days pass & their first attempts to find them fail, this may become a recovery operation with time & weather working against them. This Ron Howard directed film stars Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, & Joel Edgerton. Move over “Mission Impossible” as this become “Mission Insane” because desperate times requires desperate measures. If you are claustrophobic and/or have a fear of drowning, you may feel uncomfortable during this thrilling emotional rescue/survival film.
Alien gives it 3½ “Sleeping Princess” stars out of 4.
