      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The Wall makes the most of its limitations -- albeit perhaps not quite enough to stretch its tight-focused action into a consistently gripping feature-length thriller.

      Audience Member A cool concept, a story that could have potentially been riveting because this was something that really could have happened, a strong performance (as usual) by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and the last 2 minutes are exciting, but overall pretty boring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Sedale S A cool concept, a story that could have potentially been riveting because this was something that really could have happened, a strong performance (as usual) by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and the last 2 minutes are exciting, but overall pretty boring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review B O I was utterly surprised at how shitty this movie was. It is highly predictable, and makes a mockery out of Americans. I’ll never forget it, that’s for sure. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Reg S Americans really won't like this movie which is why it has a low audience rating. It gets into some tough, uncomfortable questions. It's very watchable but i do hate movies that give a cameo role to an actor that you want to see, to get you to watch, only to make the movie entirely about another actor. Johnson's acting was good though. I'd say give it a watch. It's enjoyable despite some unrealistic elements Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review A C Stupid long drawn out movie , first thing that soldier would have done when medivac out was id the threat and helicopter would have taken it out Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Chrysler B Fake! How could the sniper see John Cena Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Tara Brady Irish Times The dialogue ("We're not so different, you and I") can sound a little ripe, but the action is appropriately brutish and impeccably timed. Rated: 3/5 Aug 15, 2017 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) It's an interesting premise, with moments of tension and visceral gore, but Taylor-Johnson's performance isn't strong enough to rescue the film from lengthy stretches of banality. Rated: 2/5 Jul 30, 2017 Full Review Matthew Norman London Evening Standard Like waterboarding, it ought to qualify as "cruel and unusual punishment". Rated: 1/5 Jul 28, 2017 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine ...mostly due to its modest length and effective lead performance, I'm inclined to give The Wall a modest recommendation... Rated: 3/5 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Leslie Combemale Cinema Siren Though overall it may be better to wait for the home viewing, for those looking for tension-filled distraction on film and in a darkened theater, The Wall is for you. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Kate Rodger Newshub (NZ) Too one-dimensional and not nearly compelling enough for the big screen. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
