This film was so slow I had to fast forward the last 20 minutes to see the outcome and even then I regretted wasting my time.
Felt no empathy for the characters at all because it just wasn't created by the director/actors.
You'll get half way through hoping it will improve only to be disappointed. Instead I'd recommend Jake Gyllenhaal's Everest. Similar genre of film but far superior in every way.
Loads and loads of noisy grunting and gasping, puffing and panting and mumbled dialogue. Subtitles would have most certainly improved the general entertainment value but there aren’t any and I may have missed quite a lot accordingly!
Left me somewhat cold but 3 stars for the scenery.
I was a bit dubious about Walking Out after reading very luke warm reviews but found myself totally caught up in the drama. The boy acted his part so well, as did his screen father and I thought the cutting in of scenes showing the father’s relationship with his own father was sensitively done. I believe the film was based on a real life drama which made it all the more poignant. The action is slow and at times had a dream like quality but it needed to be to fully recreate the cold beauty and very real dangers that the father and son met on their journey together.
