Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
ichukinee The movie was ridiculous. It'd have been funny at least if it wasn't so married to a fictional idea of the way things work in the American military. Just crazy. And med evac coming on to a hot LZ. Not gonna happen. Not that way.Astoundingly bad, everyone else here got it right -- Dumb and Dumber: in the desert or a military Phone Booth. Just spare yourselves and don't watch.
lovemodess_ka The story is interesting but 2 stupid things made my head hurt. Normally sniper wouldn't walk searching like that by feeling bored and then just walked like that. And the most upsetting moment is when the evac team arrived and he tried to warn them and it doesn't make sense to ignore it... Too bad...wasting my time...
taswavo999 I've seen modern war and survival style movies but this is the best of both. The best survival film, by a long shot. And a decent war/anti-war movie at the same time. The set is not huge and so emphasis is on acting in the tight area. It hones in on the performances. Awesome. Better than Oscar performances I've liked in the past. Was this eligible for Oscars? It should get some - editing, direction, cinematography, sound, and a certain nomination to Taylor-Johnson. If it doesn't/didn't then those a fixed as this was the best action/thriller film I've seen for a long time and in some aspects, ever.
The Couchpotatoes If you expect a war movie full of action then you should just skip The Wall. If you expect a war movie with a lot of different characters then you should just skip The Wall. But if you're in to watch a war movie with psychological warfare, where a sniper plays with the life of a couple American soldiers then The Wall is worth giving it a shot. Because that's what you get. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the main character and you will almost watch him for the entire movie. His mate played by John Cena has a much smaller role. The other big role is for Laith Nakli playing the sniper but him you won't even see, he's just a voice in an earphone. So not much characters, not much action, but still enough suspense to make it an interesting war movie to watch.
