Having read the stories about this horrible event, I would say this movie pretty accurate when it comes to the survivors of the 1972 Andes plane crash. As opposed to the movie "Alive," this movie really really really dwelled on the cannibal part. They really wanted to show you all that gore and meat and cutting and eating. I do like how they actually waited until halfway through before the cannibalism.
My gripe with the film is that although it is pretty accurate, it is kinda exploiting what happened. Even on the American cover they put the word "Incredible Story of Modern Day Cannibalism!." I guess they really wanted to get in on that weird ass cannibal crazed from the late 60's to the 80's. I don't know what that was about. My other gripe is that the Mexican version I saw it kinda long, clocking in at almost two hours. Also the passage of time doesn't seem like two months, it seems like just a few days. They could had done a better job of showing time.
I would say that the actors are pretty good, they deliver some good emotions. This story is incredible no doubt, this movie and Alive are both good movies, if you want a more gruesome cannibal scenes, then watch this. If you prefer better effects and just overall better production, watch Alive!.
9/10.
