Movie Info
As a boy, Philippe Petit dreams of performing daring feats for dazzled crowds. As an adult (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), his life's ambition comes true when he becomes a high-wire artist who stares death in the face with every step. Under the guidance of mentor Papa Rudy, the French daredevil devises a plan to walk on a tightrope attached to the north and south towers of the World Trade Center. With help from his team and against all odds, Petit attempts the seemingly impossible stunt on Aug. 7, 1974.

Most people have probably heard of Petite's walk between the Twin Towers, so the film doesn't shy away from having the protagonist narrate the entire story in a somewhat unexpectedly quirky way standing on the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately even way before the big stunt, some of the surroundings seem oddly unreal and can easily be identified as special effect shots. Thankfully, no such thought crosses your mind during the dizzying finale. Sure, they may have added some complications here or there. but it's still wonderfully done. Overall maybe a bit too quirky at times, but the mind-blowing ending makes up for it.

A thrilling picture to watch on the big screen. Although, it does raise the question: Would it have had the same effect if that screen had been my laptop's? I had the same thought watching Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity -- Incidentally, The walk wins that battle with a much stronger lead performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and a generally more balanced and true story. Both very entertaining films, all the same.

Not quite as interesting as the documentary but this is nonetheless an enjoyable film that ends up being appropriately a love story about the Twin Towers as well as one man's obsession in all its glory and ugliness.
