The Walk is the new Robert Zemeckis-directed biography/drama based on French high-wire artist Philippe Petit. 

The international cast includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley,  Charlotte Le Bon, James Badge Dale and Ben Schwartz.

What appears to lie ahead is an exciting risk-taking adventure. Though, I’m not quite sure yet whether I’ll be able to completely suspend my disbelief when it comes to the French accent.

Still, somehow, the story of a man who chooses to walk on a wire from great heights and without any safety precautions is probably interesting enough to convince me. That is of course unless I opt for the 2008 documentary, Man on Wire instead.

Happy Film Loving,
