‘The Wall’ Trailer: Aaron Taylor-Johnson And John Cena Are Under Enemy Fire In Doug Liman’s New Thriller

Below, watch The Wall trailer.
The Wall trailer calls to mind other single location thrillers, but maybe Liman, a director whose work is often fresh and exciting, will bring something new to the table:
The first minute of the trailer builds tension well to the moment where everything goes wrong for Taylor-Johnson and Cena’s characters. When Cena’s character says, “The scope is an extension of my eye, the trigger is an extension of my fist, the rifle is an extension of me, and I strike you down,” is the highlight of the trailer. Cena’s tone intensifying, the music growing louder, and the faster cutting — that’s when The Wall looks like another movie from Liman to see in a theater. Cena showed a new side of himself in Trainwreck, for a performance he maybe should’ve gotten more credit for, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with a director as talented as Liman.
Here’s the official synopsis for The Wall:
The Wall opens in theaters March 10th, 2017.
