The Dark Tower

The Dark Tower (2017) is a fantasy action film with Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey you can watch online on iFILM. Somewhere stands a tower that holds every world together. Knock it down, and reality unravels.

Roland Deschain is the last Gunslinger, sworn to stop Walter O'Dim — the Man in Black — before he topples that final support. The link between worlds runs through Jake Chambers, a New York teenager plagued by visions no one believes. Jake's drawings lead Roland into the open fight. Elba keeps the Gunslinger clipped and weary; McConaughey plays evil as a smiling man who kills with a snap of his fingers.

Danish director Nikolaj Arcel adapted Stephen King's eight-novel saga, a story King chased across three decades of writing. Squeezing all of that into 95 minutes was always going to split the room, and longtime readers still argue about it. As a doorway into King's gunslinger mythology, though, it does the job: lean, blunt, easy to follow. Stream The Dark Tower (2017) online on iFILM.
