“An above average war movie with a really good ending”
This movie happens during the Iraq war as two soldiers are checking out a wall where they get to see many casualties. So they suspect something is not right that’s when they come across a haji sniper and then their fight for survival begins. To say about the story it was good but I have come across many movies like this. Acting vise it was good but I would have rated this movie just an average if the ending was not so good. I loved the ending.
Yes I would recommend this movie to anyone I know. I would say give it a shot.
Notable Acting
Aaron Taylor-Johnson famous for his movies like the kick ass franchise and Godzilla.
John Cena he is a famous wwe wrestler
My Rating 7/10

_Enemy at the Wall_.
A single location drama can be hard to pull off, especially when you only have three actors in the whole thing, and one of them is John Cena, and while _The Wall_ maybe isn't the strongest example of such an endeavour, it's still a successful one.
_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

**Not for humans!**
This is not for humans. A film made to entertain terrorists. There's no reason it to be called an anti-American film. But there's certain rules for everything, that's a fairy-tale always has to end 'happily ever after' and in a film about terrorism, all terrorists must die.
The biggest shock is it was made by a well known filmmaker for his some blockbusters. This is a limited cast and a day event film. I did not think the entire film was bad. Only the end ruined everything. If it had a better conclusion, might have been as good as 'Kajaki'.
The character looked unique, because you don't always have a highly skilled, intelligent soldier on the field. That's the best part, and then the most of the narration was simply empty, total drag or time wasting events. Recommended to skip it without a second thought!

How This Film Stands Out
While The Wall shares thematic elements with other films in its genre, it distinguishes itself through its unique approach to storytelling, visual style, and character development.
Unlike Baian the Assassin, which takes a more conventional approach to its subject matter, The Wall subverts genre expectations by exploring its themes with greater nuance.
While films like Red Dragon and Dead Ringers explore similar territory, The Wall stands apart through its deeper exploration of its central themes and more complex characterization.
This film's unique contribution to cinema lies in its thoughtful balance of entertainment value and thematic depth, making it a valuable addition to its genre.
