Man On Wire: Review



This is without doubt the best documentary of the year for 2008. This film follows a rising wire-walker that has an ambitious goal: wire-walk the tallest buildings in the world, the Twin Towers in New York.


The film goes through all the planning and debating between Phillip Petit and his friends on how to get to the top of the building, during construction, with all of their equipment. It was a truly miraculous movie, even though mostly everything was still-photos and re-enactments of what happened.


A truly amazing documentary. This get's a 10/10 from me.
