I am not a daredevil, and I even have a scare of heights, so I could never do anything like the guy who acrossed twin building through only a wire. I am not a big fan of this kind of movie mut would like to see the trailer to see what it looks like.

I am not a daredevil I don’t a strong person to risk my life, but I like this kind of movies.

I definetly would like to see this movie.

Firstly, the plot sounds really exciting. I love that sort of films, when you just can’t take your eyes off a screen. Although, I’m not a daredevill at all. I don’t like to risk, when it isn’t necessary.

Secondly, Robert Zemeckis is one of my favourite directors. Most part of his films I can watch millions times and still want to watch it again.

So for me this movie worth for watching :)
