The 33 will touch your heart with the poignant and soul-stirring performances by the cast. The especially stimulating performance by Antonio Banderas is something to look forward to. The score of the film is well-composed by James Horner, and it perfectly underscored the emotion in almost every scene of the film.

There is plenty of drama and suspense in this true-life story, but the screenplay relies too heavily on formula and is swathed in Hollywood sentimentality. The performances are uneven, while some actors are simply miscast.
