The Walk turns what is a relatively straightforward act - albeit a scarily placed one - into something stunning by restoring a sense of physicality to what's happening onscreen.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Zemeckis's failing is his inattention to every other detail, but The Walk undeniably exists for its climax: one stunt it does manage to pull off flawlessly.
David Sims, The Atlantic
Fresh
It's two-thirds of a great film but the slow start and unremarkable first hour hold it back. Still, for those who buy into the precept that "good things are worth waiting for," The Walk unquestionably delivers.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

The walk itself is the film's central, and only, real achievement, but it's a doozy.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Rotten
For at least the duration of the 25-minute wire sequence, The Walk is a breathless, exhilarating moviegoing experience. It's just not much of a movie.
Alex Pappademas, Grantland
