The Walk

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

This film is about Phillippe Petit's high wire walk in between the twin towers of the world trade center. It was also dedicated to the victims of the September 11 attacks. This film follows Phillippe Petit as he plans to do a hire wire walk in between the twin towers, and what followed.

This film was directed by Robert Zemeckis. At first this film seems dull, but the character of Petit keeps you interested. As the film turns into a coup it begins to improve. Then the actual 'walk' sequence makes this film worth the watch. Although, it is not for those who have a fear of heights because the sequence takes great effort to make audiences feel like they are there. Joseph Gordon-Levitt played the role of Phillppe Petit. He did wonderful at creating a neurotic artist. At times his character could be tiring and over the top, but it worked for the film. Charlotte Le Bon played the role of Annie. She was good at supporting Gordon-Levitt.

I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! The ending sequence makes it a great film, but the rest of the film doesn't keep the hype.

This film can be seen on DVD.

Answer to last blog: Actress Quinn McColgan, Extinction, stared in the film Non-Stop.
