Kuun pinnalla on kävellyt kaksitoista eri ihmistä, mutta vain yksi – Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – on kävellyt, tai tulee koskaan kävelemään, World Trade Centerin kaksoistornien välissä ammottaneen putouksen yli. Oppi-isänsä Papa Rudyn (Ben Kingsley) ohjaamana ja sekalaisen kansainvälisen tukijoukkonsa avustamana Petit uhmaa todennäköisyyksiä ja saa kohdata petollisuutta, eripuraa ja lukuisia läheltä piti -tilanteita kehitellessään ja toteuttaessaan hullunrohkeaa suunnitelmaansa. Robert Zemeckis, joka on ohjannut sellaiset upeat elokuvat kuin Forrest Gump, Cast Away - tuuliajolla, Paluu tulevaisuuteen, Napapiirin pikajuna ja Lento, hyödyntää jälleen uusinta teknologiaa kertoessaan tunteikkaan, henkilökeskeisen tarinan. Innovatiivisten valokuvan tarkkojen menetelmien ja näyttävän 3D-tekniikan avulla toteutettu The Walk pääsee oikeuksiinsa valkokankaalla, missä katsojat voivat kouraisevasti kokea taivaita hipovat tapahtumat. Elokuva on rakkaudenosoitus 1970-luvun Pariisille ja New Yorkille mutta ennen kaikkea World Trade Centerin kaksoistorneille. (Walt Disney Nordic Fin.)

The atmosphere of the film was similar to the one in the film Hugo by the equally acclaimed director Martin Scorsese. In fact, the whole movie was extremely nice for me to watch, even though I knew it wasn’t quite par excellence. On the other hand, I think Robert Zemeckis squeezed the absolute maximum out of that story. Basically, we all know how it will turn out, but I still couldn’t shake off the tension that was thickening inside me towards the end. An absolutely perfect Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who obviously aced both French Parisian slang and walking on a rope, to amaze us all with a great acting performance. But he still didn’t manage to beat Ben Kingsley, who, evidently according to Phillip Petit’s own suggestion, played the Czech emigrant Rudolf and could give away his charisma to the rest of the acting staff. The more the pity it is that he had so few scenes where he could show off his talent. What can we do, the film was just about a slightly special character in the history of rope climbing, and the character could not have earned a better film than this one. And I’m quite glad that Joseph as Phillip Petit didn’t skimp on arrogance. A normal person would probably never be able to do this...

For someone who doesn't like dramas and Robert Zemeckis in particular, this was a pleasant surprise. I was worried that the whole film would be boring and it wouldn't be until the last 15 minutes that Joseph Gordon-Levitt gots on the rope, I was wrong. Nice and entertaining pace from the start, Gordon-Levitt is great, I can see him as a future star who will be fighting for golden statues, all the preparation and motivation was quite engaging and the ending itself was surreal. I witnessed something truly great, spectacular, my legs ached, I felt dizzy, I almost went mad and Gordon-Levitt has my admiration. Great. 80%.

It's like I went back in time fifteen years. Robert Zemeckis tells the extraordinary story of an ordinary dreamer at his usual unpretentious pace, leading the main character to a breathtaking catharsis in the final moments. And yet it doesn't reach the quality of the similar Cast Away and Contact, mainly because this is exactly what I expect from him, and therefore the surprising or even seat-raising moment is missing. On the other hand, The Walk referenced in the movie's title is arresting, and shows in full force what could be sensed from the beginning: that Philippe Petit is not at all petite as artists go, but more with the heart of Le Petit Prince, far above us in his head and desires – in the heights that remain forbidden to mere mortals like us.

A stunning digifest with a beating heart that only Robert Zemeckis could have given it. A celebration of enthusiasm, determination and courage. A tribute to the Twin Towers. Lovely French charm. After a long time, Alan Silvestri’s soundtrack soothes the ear. A nice role for Gordon-Levitt.

Paradoxically, Zemeckis exaggerates it with that elegance on a rope. Petit's high jinks are staged openly as a theater / myth - the protagonist's personality is a stepping stone to an eccentric expedition to a place where there is no death, only "splendor" and everything is dominated by the avantgarde pose of the artist as an acrobat, a man who is not afraid of the abyss, because death is only about not inviting the depths to a duel. It's simple and naive, but in defense of the film, let it be said that this is exactly what it is aiming to be. The regression into Petit's childhood is Burtonian poetic (and unfortunately quite exaggerated), the very performance of the magnificent "coup" is again stylized as an exuberant and exciting heist. Apart from Gravity, the moments on the rope are quite possibly the most significant thing you will experience at IMAX. Unfortunately, in time, everything else is flat, very flowery, and emotionally completely barren. The only perception that really exists in this film is the dizzying depth underfoot. Everything else is just an epic narrated shallowness, streams of lightly spoken words of the exhibiting principal (Robert and Joseph), their funny exuberant "accent", which unfortunately do not help the drama very much.*** 1/2. P.S. I'm looking forward to the analyses of the neo-formalist wing - the film seems to really want it.
