The King
of the Wire puts his faith in the King
of Kings.Just before Nik Wallenda steps onto the wire tonight in an attempt to become the first person to walk a
tightrope across the mouth
of the Horseshoe Falls, he'll form a circle with a dozen close friends and members
of his close - knit Christian
family and they'll say a prayer to Jesus Christ.The cross Wallenda wears around his neck every time he walks on a wire isn't just a fashion statement, it's a message about the religious beliefs the American performer holds close to his heart.
These bigger fish respond by taking Talley's own
family hostage to ensure that their interests are taken care
of, putting Tally in a
tightrope situation where the slightest mishap will mean the end
of two innocent
families at once.
Building up to the gung - ho sequence
of gunfire and
tightrope tension are ho - hum scenes
of family drama and police corruption that will either offend, bore or fizzle out before anything worthwhile can be squeezed from them.
