Been to see 'The Long Walk' tonight. An early Stephen King adaptation.

Thought it was really good.
Wholesome, but also really bleak and horrific in parts (especially the first kill, christ).
Very thought provoking, would definitely recommend

Went to see it last night, one of my films of the year.

I thought the two leads, David Jonnson and Copper Hoffman were outstanding ( must be award nominees )

As you say, it was dark, brutal and bleak as fuck.

What shocked me as much as the first kill, was the first lad who dropped his trousers and started shitting on the road - I just wasn`t expecting it !

By the end of the film, you really want the remaining five lads to survive, even though you know it can`t happen.

I`m not ashamed to say, I was welling up at the end.

( thought the ambiguous ending was very fitting too )

I`d really like to watch it again, but really concentrate on the dialogue this time and see what I missed.

It won`t be for everyone though, as it`s very slow, the levels of brutality are just shocking and it`s just so bleak.

Very slow, and thought the acting in particular the accents were very poor.

If it wasn't for the kill's i would have assumed it was a made for nickelodeon film.

Yeah, I really liked it. All the characters were really likeable which made it worse when you knew there could only be one winner.

They changed the ending from how the books ends and I think it was definitely for the better

I liked the ending too, as normally they bottle the endings, knowing that American audiences expect a happy ending.

The ending of the film was a real bender and ambiguous, which I thought really finished the film off well.

I never realised that this was King`s first ever novel that he wrote !

Never heard of this film until reading about it on here, and just back from the cinema having watched it.
Definite Stephen King story. Gave me Stand By Me vibes.
Really like yer man David Jonsson. He was very good in Alien: Romulus.
I liked it. Thanks folks.

Things That Annoy Me: they have introduced the weirdest service system at my local odeon. You go make your order, then have to go elsewhere to collect your purchase. Last time we went for ice cream, unaware of this new system. So queued at the ice cream place only to be told “you go and order from there”…a station about 100 yards away. So we go and order and then have to trudge back 100 yards to collect our ice cream.
This time it was less busy so ordered our hotdogs (yeah, yeah I know) from the woman behind the counter and walked to the place we pick them up, only to be handed them by the woman who’d just taken our order.

(I should say we normally don’t have anything/take our own stuff in).
