The Long Walk

Walking to Nowhere

I&apos;ll start by saying I haven&apos;t read Stephen King&apos;s book, but the concept of a dystopian death march with one winner and no finish line sounded pretty intriguing.

Turns out, it&apos;s just... walking. For almost two hours. Straight.

I didn&apos;t know exactly what to expect, but I guess I should&apos;ve known better - watching people walk (and talk, and occasionally fall over) probably can&apos;t carry an entire movie. The film kind of flatlines early on and just keeps dragging its feet, literally. Nothing major really happens - it&apos;s just endless walking with bits of dialogue sprinkled in, and none of it feels impactful enough to justify the runtime.

It&apos;s like watching a horror movie without horror, or a war movie without war - just the awkward middle bits where everyone&apos;s sweaty and miserable. The concept had potential, but it feels like it forgot to actually go anywhere (ironically).

Most of the characters are forgettable or painfully stereotypical: the cocky one, the quiet one, the emotional one, the guy who clearly won&apos;t make it past the halfway point, and a few randoms who seem to exist just to fill the quota of &quot;people who can die later&quot;. Some are purposely annoying, some are just... there. And while I get that the point is supposed to be bleak and psychological, it ends up feeling weirdly hollow.

The film tries to say something deep about humanity, sacrifice, survival, or whatever, but it never quite lands. In the end, it&apos;s just a story about a short-lived friendship that won&apos;t last, told through the world&apos;s longest, most uneventful walk.

I wouldn&apos;t say it&apos;s bad-bad.. it&apos;s just frustratingly dull. It&apos;s one of those films where you keep waiting for something to happen... and then the credits roll.

In essence, The Long Walk is a long watch.

From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King’s first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films (Catching Fire, Mocking Jay – Pts. 1&amp;2 , and The Ballad of the Songbirds &amp; Snakes), comes THE LONG WALK, an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?
