The Long Walk
Too bad it kinda collapses in the third act, despite the good changes made for the ending. Hoffman and Jonsson truly carry this all the way with their flawless bromance. Cast around them is pretty good as well, every walker having his little moment to shine. But the brutality never clicked with me. It never really feels shocking when you show too much, right? Didn't get why Hamill had to be so fucking annoyingly cartoonish -- his performance belongs to the new Running Man adaptation, I guess. (2025 is the year I walked the most I ever did, no kidding.)

I debated whether I should give this an 85 or 90. It's probably more like an 87 or 88 but I don't feel comfortable rounding up because then it puts it in a tier with movies I li...
