User Reviews for: The Wall

CONTAINS SPOILERS4/10  7 years ago
If two movies ever went on a date and decided to have polygamous relationship with a third movie: they baby of that relationship would have been called The Wall.

this is a movie with all the familiar features from its predecessors like : "Buried", "Mine" and "American Hero". one thing that is missing is the thriller part, the suspense.
In Mine as well as in Buried, you were attracted to the story, the characters grew on you and made the acting part even more enjoyable.

A philosophical Iraqi sniper is challenging the spotter to review his life and the deployment to Iraq. Hence the war is over, yet he keeps returning back for another tour.

to be honest I had a good feeling in the beginning, but (spoiler alert) the miraculous revival of Sergeant Matthews from the afterlife, the superficial conversation with Juba and lack of depth in performance of the main character killed the story. The Dean part, where he was shot should have been the beginning of the movie and afterwards the rest of the play.

How the Iraqi sniper could intercept high encoded military communication and know all the right commandoes was even more a buzz kill

in short, it had some great potential, but after seeing the ending I give the movie 4/10. POOR

“An above average war movie with a really good ending”


This movie happens during the Iraq war as two soldiers are checking out a wall where they get to see many casualties. So they suspect something is not right that’s when they come across a haji sniper and then their fight for survival begins. To say about the story it was good but I have come across many movies like this. Acting vise it was good but I would have rated this movie just an average if the ending was not so good. I loved the ending.

Yes I would recommend this movie to anyone I know. I would say give it a shot.

Notable Acting

Aaron Taylor-Johnson famous for his movies like the kick ass franchise and Godzilla.

John Cena he is a famous wwe wrestler

My Rating 7/10

_Enemy at the Wall_.

A single location drama can be hard to pull off, especially when you only have three actors in the whole thing, and one of them is John Cena, and while _The Wall_ maybe isn't the strongest example of such an endeavour, it's still a successful one.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

**Not for humans!**

This is not for humans. A film made to entertain terrorists. There's no reason it to be called an anti-American film. But there's certain rules for everything, that's a fairy-tale always has to end 'happily ever after' and in a film about terrorism, all terrorists must die.

The biggest shock is it was made by a well known filmmaker for his some blockbusters. This is a limited cast and a day event film. I did not think the entire film was bad. Only the end ruined everything. If it had a better conclusion, might have been as good as 'Kajaki'.

The character looked unique, because you don't always have a highly skilled, intelligent soldier on the field. That's the best part, and then the most of the narration was simply empty, total drag or time wasting events. Recommended to skip it without a second thought!

_1/10_

_This isn't war. It's a game_

Absolutely go see it. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is so great in this movie. The entire run-time of this feature could be his Best Actor Winner clip show reel. His dramatic and enticing performance in this just blew me away. You feel the pain he feels as he's pinned down to a small brick wall, being forced to remove a bullet from his leg, watching his partner being pushed to the ground by sniper-point; it's a lot like Dunkirk, but without the music. No music plays the whole movie. Isaac, played by Johnson, and his partner, played by John Cena, are currently out investigating a pipeline in Iraq when things go from suspicious to a nightmare. Cena's character gets pinned down after being shot by an unidentified sniper named Juba. Isaac is forced to stay behind a wall to hide from the shooter that that has both of them pinned down. From there, the movie becomes one big chess game. The sniper wants to get information from Isaac by talking to him over his radio transmission. What he wants to do with that information, we don't know yet. I actually don't want to say that much, in fear of spoiling, but this movie engrossed me from beginning to end. I've never seen an hour and a half fly by that quickly. I wasn't bored at any moment during this. You're constantly on the edge of your seat questioning what's going. The pieces slowly become clearer as time goes on, and the sniper's motivations, I suppose, are what constitutes as the the "twist" ending. The reveal will make you have one of two reactions... or both. Flipping fantastic stuff. You start to like it the more you think about it. I only loved it even more as I thought about while driving home from the theater. The actors did an incredible job with the material they were given, it's not exactly the happiest movie you'll ever see, but it sucked me in so much. One of my favorite movies of 2017 so far.
