Movie Review: Walking Out (2017), #badmovies

Walking Out (Film 4)
2017
Adventure Drama 




This film lacked any kind of suspense and urgency and the sense of danger the plot and story was alluding to amounts to nothing. The boy wasn't someone I could root for, whilst Matt Bomer tries in the role of the dad and the film lacked any sort of character development, depth and sympathy. This is a low budget The Reverent, only long, slow and tepid with none of its charm and not enough bear/survival scenes, along with its jarring score. As it went on, it became more depressing and the pay-off wasn't rewarding. A wild woods adventure that is neither wild nor adventurous enough. Oh and Bill Pullman is in this one, go figure. Style but no substance, with better different leads and had it been given the big-budget treatment, Walking Out would have stood a chance. But alas, it fails to make any impact it is set out to do. Sitting through the 115 minute run-time throughout one would feel the urge to walk out on this one. As survival movies go, Walking Out was anaemic. It looks nice though. 


Is It Worth Watching?

Sadly not
