The Long Walk

CriticsCritics: 80
AudienceAudience: 6.8

In a dystopian America, fifty teenage boys enter an annual walking contest with a deadly rule: anyone who falls below the required pace faces execution. As the exhausting journey continues, the participants form uneasy bonds while confronting fear, ambition, violence, and the harsh demands of survival.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like bleak dystopian thrillers such as The Hunger Games, especially for intense performances and moral tension; Not for you if slow, repetitive stories and graphic violence are deal-breakers.
