"The Long Walk" (2025) Film Review-Brutality, brokenness, and brotherhood in dystopian America

Those perfect Summer or Fall days. The sun is shining, the temperature is JUST right, and you've got nothing else to do. Therefore, isn't it time to get outside and take a nice stroll through the park, or along the shoreline (should you be that fortunate), or even just around the neighborhood? Sure. BUT.....if one lives in the America found in the newest film adaptation of the work from horror author/cultural icon Stephen King.....doing this SHOULD be the LAST thing you hope to find yourself engaged with.

That's the reality--and it is one DARK, deeply disturbing, and totally anarchic one--that is ultimately revealed and traversed through via this newly released feature film from director Francis Lawrence (majority of the "Hunger Games" franchise, "Red Sparrow"). Most assuredly borrowing some baseline premises and thematic tangents from the former while placing a decidedly edgier and more harshly, violently visceral content onto the screen, this is one weighty effort that won't, most likely, make a lot of people's "MUST SEE AGAIN" list.
