The Walker Reviews
New York Times
Stephen Holden
By the end of The Walker a movie that begins as a dazzling round of charades has deteriorated into a plodding game of Clue.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
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.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
There is good writing here, and Thomas is very good as always, but the movie works because of Harrelson's performance.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
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.
Detroit News
Tom Long
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.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
This is no masterpiece, but a fine-tuned little thriller packed with meticulously chosen details of character and place.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There is a deep morality at work here, as often in Schrader's work.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
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.
Newsday
John Anderson
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.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
The whole thing feels fusty and forced.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
[G]uilty of the most mortal of all movie sins: It's dull.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Paul Schrader blends lethargic self-referentiality with anemic political jabs in The Walker.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But just as it should be soaring it suddenly begins to fall apart, the last 20 or so minutes so absurdly ludicrous and poorly constructed it makes all that's come before an unintentionally hilarious laughingstock.
Film Comment Magazine
Rob Nelson
The Walker is a well-lubed vehicle for Schrader's own sunset cruise.
New York Press
Eric Kohn
If Schrader was willing to enliven the pace, The Walker would easily become a riveting thriller, but the situation gets resolved with too much ease.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
[Woody] Harrelson digs deep for this portrait of shallowness.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
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.
Observer
Rex Reed
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.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
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.
