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. And, while the towers don't exist anymore and one can't imagine Gordon-Levitt traversing the chasm if they did, Zemeckis' film makes you believe. It is a movie all about spectacle and it delivers that in spades.
Even before the climactic sequence—an utter triumph of filmmaking—The Walk is fully engaging. This is mostly attributable to Gordon-Levitt who gives an astounding amount of energy and enthusiasm in every scene. Petit is, as he makes very clear, a showman, and Gordon-Levitt's performance is always on, imparting momentum that influences the entire film and keeps the proceedings moving forward at a brisk pace.
