Stephen King is brutal, but it has a heart

Long walk It is brutal. It is not because of the weak heart. It can be violentAnd disgust, it is extremely difficult to see it. But if you are watching, you will be rewarded with a beautiful and surprising human story. One relates to friendship, hope, life, love, family and everything between them. Long walk It is a horror movie for sureBut it also has a huge huge heart.

Based on one of the first novels written by an unknown author named Richard Bakhanna (most of them know him His real name, Stephen King), Long walk It has incredibly simple setting. In an unlimited version, mysterious from the United States, there Annual television competition Where one young man from each state must walk until only one remains. That’s it. You walk. There are some other rules, such as maintaining a specific speed and a limited number of warnings, but the last man stands to give countless fortunes and one desire. All they want.

This is enough to get every qualified person in the country to apply every year, but we follow Ray, which Cooper Hoffman plays (Licorice Pizza). Ray, like most other men who walk, do so for personal reasons. Some of these reasons are detected early, and others are revealed later, but each provides a unique perspective about the view, personality and the world in general. Quickly, Ray Bonds with a house, played by David Johnson (Foreign: Romulus)And besides a few other participants, friendships continue to grow.

One of the most wonderful things about it Long and noK is her. We know, as the characters do, almost everyone will die. They must die. Otherwise, no one wins. So the more we invested in the characters, the dodges, and their relationships, the more fatigue to watch. This is only intense through the brutal violence of the film, which benefits fully from the Rating R. The film appears to be a deputy who is constantly and continuously grabbed you.

This is thanks to director Francis Lawrence, who is not strange to films about children who die for sport on TV. The last four Hunger games Films (in addition to the next movie), so he knows something about the balance of a large group of characters while mixing in humanity and dread. Here, though, it’s more powerful. Thanks to the simple preparation and images throughout, Lawrence uses every hoax of filmmaking in the book to make the experience feel engaged. For example, since Ray and PETE have a philosophical conversation at the forefront, we have overwhelmed many walking sounds in the background. Soldiers call for warnings. Firetons. Stress. Pressure. Every moment makes the participants closer to death and adds another layer of terrifying tension.

It will be difficult to feel this tension without personalities care about, and Long walk They give us every role. In addition, it is not harmful that two threads, played by Hoffman and Johnson, offer variable profession and stars industry. Before this movie, most fans knew them as just talented actors. Hoffman’s dazzling in Paul Thomas Anderson Licorice pizza Likewise Saturday night, While Johnson stood in Foreign: Romulus Besides Ray Lin. after Long walkNevertheless, each of them took their craft to a completely new level. Their shows are very beautiful, accredited, and so sad that with the movie approaching from the end, it will be offered to severe pressure so that you do not cry about just thinking about losing or both of these characters. Each actor was a star before, but they are now stars.

Then join an equal support staff. Mark Hamiel plays the role of the main opponent of the film, the pioneer, who controls walking. He plays completely against the type as the most cruel and evil character he has played for a long time. Yes, including Joker. Among the other actors, Karate Kid’s legendS Star Ben Wong is one of its most prominent with its New York -inspired comic cycle, while Garrett Wareing, Carlie Plummer, Tut Nyuot and Joshua Odjick are all offered in excellent offers, too.

In the end, though, Long walk It works mostly because we are very fascinated by Ray and Beit. Through them, we explore what is right and wrong in this world, as well as all the urgent questions you have about logistical services for walking. We see the full life of friendship, those that are always under this cloud of terrorism. As a result, as things approach from the end, the film becomes destructive just as you can imagine, if not more.

Do not think Long walk He will find a lot of life at the box office simply because it is very difficult to watch it. But those who see it, and we recommend it, will not be able to stop thinking or talking about it. It is a well -made unique movie to the level of its root Stephen King. It opens September 12.
