The Long Walk (out Sep 11) is based on a Stephen King horror novel and is the story of young men in a winner-take-all walking contest where they must maintain a 3 mile an hour pace or be executed. It's already a great premise but the superb performances of the cast make it an affecting tale of friendship. Beautifully directed (characters are constantly moving obviously), this is not a film you'll easily forget. Grade: A.
