The Wall

Pinned down by a lethal sniper in Iraq two American Soldiers, Isaac and Matthews (Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena) rally to stay alive hidden behind a spooky and unsteady wall. Questioning their own purpose and occupation, what has war done to Iraq its people and psyche? Written by Dwain Worrell and Directed by Doug Liman this thriller war drama with overtones of horror maintains as a compelling piece for its brief 81 minute runtime, meanwhile poignant and sharp dialogue between Taylor-Johnson and the Sniper (Laith Nakli) is visceral, damning, and packs a punch to deliver a powerful message. Performances all round are stellar and the overall composition will grip viewers up until the bitter end. Looking for intense thrills, look no further, The Wall is Rated R.
