Thirteen Lives

So if you haven't watched the National Geographic documentary, The Rescue, then this is your chance to watch the remarkable dramatization by director Ron Howard, starring Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell. I loved "The Rescue" and I'm not sure there was a need to make a dramatization, however they did, and well, it's one of the best films of the year. What's it all about? This is the true story of a young soccer team and their coach (13 of them) who became trapped in a lengthy Thailand cave when the monsoon rains came early and floated the cave - this is the tale of how they were rescued. It's truly a fascinating and almost unbelieve tale of survival. Viggo Mortensen is as good as I have ever seen him and Colin Farrell, the same - lots of walking around in wetsuits and looking pensive but they do it oh-so-well. If you are claustrophobic, this one gets real tight and you might find it hard to breathe. Catch it on Amazon Prime.
