I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Blistering performances.

The movie is superb. Joseph did a spectacular job in it his look and his accent in French and English as the French spoke it , He really should have been nominated for a serious award as the globes or maybe even the Oscars. The movie is very underrated , the music and editing are superb only Zemeckis had some scenes that you felt the effect added on it and was just dull as most of the movies in the end of the year. The visual effects was average but it didn't have to be perfect cause it could present the idea and make you feel the intense and excited and on the edge of your seat with lots of sweats too . The movie too had the very quick rhythm that some less scenes when it took long to explain it you might feel bored but not for sure about that and also it's style was unique in it's preview and also the movie didn't make fun of the audience's smart and criticism which I very respect but it was too quick that you feel they might hide something wrong and you couldn't notice it and the ending scene which was amazing but went a little bit awesome exaggerated! By far one of Joseph's best performances and one of my favourite movies. 8.5/10

The Walk was an inspirational story about a man from France who has put on many circus type acts in France for tightrope walking and comes to America in New York City to expand his talent by elaborating a scheme with his friends to hook various cables across the world trade center buildings for his biggest stunt yet. This involves walking while holding a giant stick. This is a true story from 1974. I liked it.

First off, I watched this in 2-D on a TV at home and I imagine this film was a much different of experience in IMAX 3-D. I saw a preview of this film in 3D on the big screen when I watched "Mad Max: Fury Road" and that two or three minutes was the best use of 3-D I'd ever seen. The story follows tight-rope walker Philippe Petit in 1974 planning to conduct an illegal tight walk rope between the newly constructed twin towers in NYC. The first half of the film was fairly mundane backstory material, but once Petit, played by the terrific Joseph Gordon-Levitt, begins to assembly his team and hatches a plan how he'll pull off this stunt, the movie becomes a 1960s Jules Dassin jewel heist film in the best sort of way. To compliment the Dassin vibe, there's a jazzy 1960s style score by Alan Silvestri, a colorful and quirky team, fun trial and error planning sequences, and all sorts of conning and dodging to infiltrate the building, which is amazingly fun. Then there's the eventual tightrope walk between the towers and even watching it on a TV was a dizzying and suspenseful experience. I can only imagine what this must have been like in IMAX 3-D. My main complaints about the film are the dull first act, which seemed like filler, and the film's over use of voice-over, which seemed a lazy way to deliver exposition. Still, director Robert Zemeckis delivers a knockout of a film and Gordon-Levitt continues to show himself as one of the best actors currently working today.

i didn't know who philippe petit was before i watch this film,let me tell you something:he is an exceptionnal man. great movie with outstanding visual effects that will take your breath away,it's been a surprise for me for it didn't get as much hype as it truly deserves. philippe petit walks on wire for fun,philppe petit is a talented,arrogant little man who takes walking on wires seriously and sees himself as an artist,philippe petit meets the mentor papa Rudy,learns some,philppe petit has a dream,to walk on a high wire set between the two highest towers in the world,it looks impossible until it's done! unbelievable determination and energy,a very unique perspective,a very inspiring story,wonderfully brought on screen.
