The Wall (2017)★ 6.5/10

Featuring an unseen protagonist whose presence is known solely through voice is a bold and inventive choice. “The Wall” is a minimalist sniper drama that thrives on the oppressive desert landscape and psychological tension. Despite its brevity, the film delivers a gripping blend of despair and faint hope.

The story is conceptually intriguing, but its execution suffers from glaring illogic. For instance, why would a two-man team on a mission fail to immediately report back to headquarters after one member is incapacitated, instead choosing to abandon cover and endangering himself?
