Today on New Movie Monday we lace up our boots and walk through a nightmarish American landscape in The Long Walk. We unpack the rules and weaponization of the Long Walk by the militarized state, the dynamic of these young men and their myriad of goals and dreams, and finally how this movie may capture the constant cycle of doom as America feels like it maybe beyond the American Dream. 

This is a heavy, oppressive movie. It's not a blast, but it is absolutely incredible. This movie is sure to touch a nerve with modern audiences. This is a truly Messed Up Movie.
