The words ‘God was with us’ written across the walls where these 33 men were trapped gives some perspective and the triumph of indomitable human spirit eases out a lot of negatives. This is a plain biopic that has its heart in the right place but doesn’t deliver anything extraordinary.

For a movie about vulnerable men trapped half-a-mile underground, The 33 fails to convey a sense of claustrophobia or dread that would ensure viewers are present every second

But it still has a heart. It is, after all, an extraordinary story of courage, hope, and faith.
