Zip Wire review – cancer-curing scientist is on the hook for cable-dangle thriller
This nonsensical film sees an OCD-afflicted scientist fending off assassins while hanging from an aerial wire, and fails to get pulses racing for even a minute In this silly, low-adrenaline thriller, the title star is a rickety old zip wire bolted into the side of a mountain in the Italian Dolomites that was never intended for human use. It was constructed in the first world war to sling weapons and supplies hundreds of feet down the valley – and is still used to get the occasional goat off the mountain. But for the second half of this film, a world-famous British research scientist with an extreme fear of heights dangles from it, fighting off highly skilled assassins in increasingly preposterous ways. The scientist is Amy (MyAnna Buring); she has discovered a cure for lung cancer, and her drive is explained in syrupy hospital-ward flashbacks to her mother dying when she was a teenager.
