Review of The Wall (2017) by Brendan N — 11 Aug 2017

This film at first felt like a cheap gimmick but this changed once I found Liman attached as director. He has impressed.

Me with some of the films he has directed recently and more importantly, he has found audiences with the low budget greats Swingers and Go. The central performance is the key here and without that connection, the film would either crash and burn, I found this the foundation for the tension. The only problem I had with the film was the conclusion that threw a curve ball that is quickly glossed over. The one scene setting doesn't overstay its welcome and the film keeps momentum growing until the confrontational conclusion. They really should be making more thrillers like this, Hollywood has thrown these films away for bigger budgets and 2017 summer has shown we are sick of all these franchise films. 09-08-2017.
