Roland (Idris Elba) and Walter (Matthew McConaughey) in Columbia Pictures' "The Dark Tower." (Ilza Kitshoff/Columbia Pictures)

In the alternate universe of the film "The Dark Tower" the last of the late, great gunslingers (Idris Elba) squares off against the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey) as evil threatens to bring down their world and ours. 

The thriller is the latest film to be adapted from a Stephen King novel, several novels in fact. It comes across as a fun watch, even if you aren't necessarily a fan of King's style. 

"The Dark Tower" will screen at theaters across the city starting on Thursday.
