"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."
With those words novelist Stephen King began his epic Dark Tower book series.
After seeing a matinée of the first big screen film adaptation of The Dark Tower I'd say Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey were fine in their opposing roles, yet one could also say this is the Cliff's Notes version of Stephen King's book series.
Idris Elba has some memorable moments as Roland the Gunslinger on the warpath to stop McConaughey's Man in Black sorcerer from toppling the Dark Tower which binds the universe together.
Watchable yet not nearly the epic tale the novels were.
