The Walk (review)

If you saw the doc “Man On Wire” you already know almost everything that happens here. As a matter of fact, this almost feels like another doc. Highwire walker Philippe Petit (appealing portrayed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) narrates his story on camera with flashbacks that recreate his effort to walk on a wire between the World Trade Center towers. His tenacious resolve is recounted with considerable detail, but without much dramatic involvement. However, once he starts his incredible feat, the movie becomes riveting. You know it’s all CGI, but the spectacular vistas and numerous dizzy angles create a distressingly tense experience.

 

3.5 out of 5 stars (3.5 / 5)
