A Walk in the Woods

I like the premise of two nerds trying to prove something to each other and going on the hike of their lives. Personally, I would also be attracted to a similar hike, because here you can really prove what you are capable of. It's a bit deaf at times, but both acting legends are so good that you'll survive with them until the slightly uneventful end. (06/28/2017)

I don’t really feel that there are too many movies in a similar vein. I have seen The Way, then Wild, and now there is this inconspicuous A Walk in the Woods. Every one of these movies is based on some path from the real world, but each one approaches it completely differently, which, especially in this movie, I truly respect. Two old buffers decide to go on the last journey of their lives and, surprisingly, it isn’t very philosophical but rather humorous. And that’s good. The journey with them was really fun for me. Nick Nolte looks as if he were about to die during every ascent and Robert Redford, for a change, as if he were 20 years younger. There is something special about both of them and together they make a great duo that struggles through nature, but they didn’t forget what planet they are living on. I cannot help it, but that alone is very likable in my eyes. (05/09/2016)
