The carrots are cooked

Well, no matter how well it is executed; the cinematography, the acting, everything, it still is a very thin and an empty story. French Philippe Petit wants to tightrope between the WTC twin towers and that's all there is to it. Sure enough, it's spiced as much as humanly possible, but in the end the vast majority of the drama and suspense and laughs had terribly constrained feel to it. Lots of the movies based on a true story battle with the same dilemma.
