The Long Walk (review)


 The trailer looked good. 50 boys, one from each state, walking until only one of them is left. And if you drop? They shoot you. 

The winner is a made man for life. Becomes super rich and gets one wish too. 

Sounds interesting? Yes. 

Was it good? No... not in the least. 

None of the movie made sense. These kids KNEW they were going to die. So why did they sign up for it in the first place? Do you REALLY need the money that bad? Because from the very few flashbacks we see, they don't seem to be piss poor. Just living an average life. 

The movie doesn't tell you much about the state of the nation at the time (just that it's "bad") and as the characters die one by one you begin to realize you don't care about a single one of them. 

Not much of a back story for these folks and the stupid part about the movie is that they WANTED to help each other out. Like whenever someone was about to drop, everyone would beg them to move forward...but why? Don't you want to win and NOT DIE?!?

And why do they care about these people they just met in the first place?? Honestly, nothing about this movie made any sense. 

PASS. 

Have a good weekend folks!
