May 28, 2008it wasnt the plot that kept me interested in this film, it was the strong characters, and the dialogue. like schrader's other films, this is a morality tale and a good one. others have complained of its slow pacing. you just have to know where to look.

October 27, 2009Even with Lauren Bacall and Kristin Scott Thomas, this movie was so boring! What a horrible plot!

April 22, 2008The Walker has one of the most mediocre plots I've ever seen, but luckily Woody Harrelson's performance -which is his best to date- was there to save the day. He was the only intriguing part of the film, and kept me watching despite the lagging narrative and otherwise bland chara...( read more)

February 3, 2008This is an excellent movie, an interesting role for Woody Harrelson. Despite it all, he is truly brilliant! Great story. Kristin, Lily, and Lauren are all fantastic in this movie.

September 23, 2009Paul Schrader's neo-noir-ish thriller is yet another of his seedy character studies about professional men who go out into the night and apply their unique qualities to a particular vocation. Carter Page III (Woody Harrelson) is the aging, homosexual son of a Southern senator who...( read more)

June 12, 2009On the positive, the acting was very good. On the negative, the pacing was off. Some scenes go too slow. It was also very predictable.

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. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There is a deep morality at work here, as often in Schrader's work. full review
December 6, 2007
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Paul Schrader blends lethargic self-referentiality with anemic political jabs in The Walker. full review

Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times
The Walker seems the work of a straight movie artist trying to "do" gay. There is no reality humanising the caricatural extremes. full review

June 5, 2008This movie had a powerhouse of actresses who all gave very strong performances. Woody Harrelson's role was so out of his character but I commend him for taking on such a role. I can't recommend this movie as anything special but it kept my interest to the end.
