The Walker movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: The film feels long and slow, and the subject matter familiar. We never quite get caught up in it, despite the appealing cast; a thriller directed at a snail's pace simply isn't very thrilling. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: The whole thing feels fusty and forced. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Paul Schrader directs The Walker, and the writer has a way with understatement. Like his 1992 gem Light Sleeper, this movie draws you in with its reserve. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: It's vaguely interesting, but vagueness isn't a big turn-on for most audiences. You keep wishing The Walker would break into an extended run in some direction. But instead it merely meanders. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The story of an aging, self-hating homosexual who goes home alone to his lacquered town house feels ancient as well as uncomfortable for the writer-director. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: This is no masterpiece, but a fine-tuned little thriller packed with meticulously chosen details of character and place. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: In this, the third in his 'lonely man' trilogy, [writer/director Paul] Schrader's reach exceeds his grasp, but his intentions are interesting, and the artifice he creates contributes to the otherworldliness of his Washington. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The movie is often a little lifeless. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: When a good actor makes a bad choice, he can only hope to be saved by his director, and Woody Harrelson didn't get that hand from Paul Schrader while filming The Walker. Read more
Lou Lumenick, New York Post: Like Richard Gere in [American Gigolo], Harrelson's Carter Page is as superficial as he is entertaining - at least, until he gets mixed up in a murder case. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: The Walker is not a polished or coherent film. It's more like a work in progress. Casting Woody Harrelson was a tactical error from which the overall concept never recovers. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: There is a deep morality at work here, as often in Schrader's work. Read more
G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle: There is good writing here, and Thomas is very good as always, but the movie works because of Harrelson's performance. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Written and directed with elegant finesse by Paul Schrader, the film is a character study wrapped in a story of political and corporate misconduct. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: This is a serious movie and, gliding around the center of power, a stylish one. But, like its protagonist, The Walker is unable to close the deal. Read more
