The Walk

The Walk is Robert Zemeckis’ take on the story of Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt with a terrible accent) and his tightrope walk between the Twin Towers back in 1974. Now, I’m a big fan of most of Zemeckis’ work… I mean, just think of Cast Away, Forrest Gump, What Lies Beneath and Back To The Future. The man has some serious skills. But at the same time, let’s not forget that he is also responsible for not so good movies such as A Christmas Carol, Beowulf and Contact. And with The Walk he landed somewhere in between.
