Woody Harrelson gives a fantastic performance as a Carter, a third generation rich man who is living in DC. He is homosexual which makes his a perfect social companion to high society women married to powerful men. His manners, education, politeness ...

True to the title, our featured character is not the typical walker. He chooses who he walks with real class. A view of the so called lives of government leader's wives, the story line is easy to follow up to a point. Then the reader must watch closer. ...

Whoaaaa....and you thought Woody Harrelson couldn't act ? This seriously underrated film (critics generally
panned it or gave it mild approval) is very good as are most of Paul Schrader's films (though not nearly
as good as the magnificent Adam ...

I disliked the obligatory left wing Hollywood BS aspects of this movie BUT Woody Harrelson does an outstanding job as Car, the insider who knows he is the quintessntial outsider. Harrelson portrays an attractive, sophisticated gay man who is dignified, ...

"In the end, all you have is your breeding. It's all that separates `them' from `us,'" says Natalie Van Miter, rich, aging doyen of Washington high society.
"My great-grandfather got rich off slavery," says languid, gay, agreeable Carter Page III, ...

THE WALKER (defined as a man who escorts rich ladies around town in their leisure) is both a pungent political comment and a fine mystery from Paul Schrader who both wrote and directed this smart film and had the good fortune to surround his tale with a ...
by Stone Cold Nuts on March 16, 2008
I found this compelling to watch as the performances of Bacall, Harrelson, and others successfully pulled me into what was a deliberately slow-paced film. Harrelson is impressive as he appears in virtually every scene and does a great job as the gay ...

There has been a great deal said about Paul Schrader's ("Affliction", "American Gigolo") new film "The Walker", a contemporary drama set in Washington, D.C. It centers on Carter Page (Woody Harrelson), a ...
