The Long Walk (2025) - People Walk For Two Hours and It Was Amazing -REVIEW
The Long Walk 2025 sounds stupid on paper right, a bunch of guys walking until they drop dead or get shot 🎯 but somehow this thing actually works way better than it should, Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson carry the entire movie on their backs and the chemistry between these two is insane, you actually end up giving a shit about what happens to them which is pretty rare for a movie where you know damn well only one person makes it out alive. Francis Lawrence directed this and he also did most of the Hunger Games movies so he knows how to handle these death game type stories, the guy gets how to make it feel real and heavy instead of just cheap entertainment for people who want flashy action scenes or cool deaths 💀

The ending is pretty different from the book and its also a bit confusing because things happen out of nowhere, in the book Ray wins and just keeps walking off into nothing like a zombie but in the movie Pete ends up winning after Ray sacrifices himself so his friend can live and go home, Pete asks for a soldiers gun as his wish and the Major gives it to him thinking Pete wont actually do anything with it on live television, Pete shoots the Major right in the face in front of the whole country watching on their TVs which was pretty damn satisfying to watch 🎬. The message is that even when you win you still lose in the end because this whole system is designed to break people down until theres nothing left of who they used to be before, I love this movie and even though it has a few holes in the story I cant stop from giving it a 8.5 out of 10

One thing that really stood out was how the movie shows all the messed up stuff that comes with walking non stop for days without any breaks, like how do you go to the bathroom when you cant stop moving forward, what happens when you get a cramp in your leg that makes you slow down 🚶, what if you get a rock in your shoe or your ankle breaks from walking so long. All these everyday things become life or death situations and the movie doesnt shy away from showing how brutal it gets for these young guys, one kid has explosive diarrhea and the movie shows it straight up no blur or cover up scene, another kid breaks his ankle and kept walking basically on his bone for hours which seemed pretty unbelievable to me, the kills are super graphic and straight forward head shot and their faces explode into pieces 💥

The entire story develops in a very messed up world after a big war that happened 19 years ago and left everything in complete ruins, the government is run by this totalitarian regime that bans books and music from before the war 📚 and also look like everyone is poor. Raymond Garraty is the main character and he joins the walk because he wants revenge on the Major for killing his dad in front of him and his mom, his father was executed for reading banned books and thinking for himself which in this world is basically a death sentence. Pete McVrees is the other main character and David Jonsson plays him and the dude is phenomenal in this role, their chemistry together is what makes the movie work so well because you believe these two guys actually care about each other as friends 🤝

The rules are super simple and thats what makes it work so damn well, walk at 3 miles per hour or you get warnings and after three strikes your done, soldiers shoot you right there on the road and the movie doesnt hold back from showing how messed up that whole situation is for everyone involved 😬, every other guy on this walk loose it as they see the rest going down walking on blooded foot or even totally broken ankle. The movie doesnt waste any time with boring setup that drags on forever, it gives you the basics real quick then jumps straight into the walk without spending 40 minutes on backstory nobody cares about anyway, Mark Hamill shows up as the Major and he was good in the role but it feels like easy paycheck work for him
