The Dark Tower: It’s evil but un-happening

Cast: Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Claudia Kim, Fran Kranz, Abbey Lee, Jackie Earle Haley

Rated: 3/10

Stephen King will certainly not like this filmy mould of his —  the interesting dark thriller he wrote mainly because it is un-happening despite the presence of a man in black, a gunslinger and a child with a shine.

Matthew McConaughey is coolly dressed evil sorcerer, obviously there to destroy the world with his funny commands to poor humans, like ‘drop dead’, ‘stop breathing’ and ‘kill each other’. They all, obviously, obey. The last of the gunslingers (Idris Alba) is, obviously, out to kill the sorcerer but his expressions make it look like a tedious, prolonged job. The boy, obviously, is a mind reader who can jump time to see back and forth, so, is, obviously, needed by the sorcerer to destroy humankind.

Well? Got the message? Obviously yes! So save some money please.
