Sep 29, 2015 · The metallic creak of the cable as Petit walks; the rustle and hiss of wind passing over his clothes and through his hair; the muffled sound of traffic noises floating up from 110 stories below: "The Walk" makes these and other sensations palpable, along with Petit's delight, defiance and moments of doubt and fear.

The rebel wire-walking artist is worth watching. This movie is mostly for older elementary age and older, maybe even tweens and older. It is TWO HOURS long and can be slow in parts. But the wait for the moment in which Petit sets foot on the wire 110 stories above ground is very much worth it.

The notion of walking a high-wire 10 feet above the ground can be terrifying for some. Imagine then what it must be like to be on one 110 stories above the ground. Or, don't imagine. See director Robert Zemeckis' The Walk.
The new film is the story of Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), and his traversing a high-wire rigged between the Twin Towers in 1974.

The Walk is an amazing film, and is so on multiple levels. Joseph Gordon-Levitt puts forth such an easy charm crossed with a fierce determination that it is impossible not to fall in love with Philippe Petit as he attempts what sounds utterly suicidal. The planning and set up of the caper are as fun as any heist movie. And, even though everyone wat...
