The Long Walk

Vancouver, BC

A different kind of guys being dudes movie. I haven't read the book, so I have no idea how it compares to the source material, but I think it does an okay job of poking at the Vietnam War subtext from the time, while also possessing an awareness aware of today's social climate. Brotherhood tested by institutional failure. I couldn't help but think of Death Race 2000 with the premise here, which I think I prefer more for its blatant satire — this one is a hell of a lot more serious.

Watched at Scotiabank Theatre Vancouver.
