The Walker

A contemporary drama set in Washington, D.C., The Walker centers around Carter Page (Harrelson), a well-heeled and popular socialite who serves as confidant, companion, and card partner to some of the capitol's leading ladies. These pampered women are married to the most powerful men in America, and when their husbands are too busy running the country to attend to their wives, they turn to their 'best friend' Carter, for warmth, wit, and wisdom.

Carter's loyalty is tested when his dearest friend (Scott Thomas) finds herself on the brink of a scandal that could destroy her reputation and her husband's career. Offering to cover for her, Carter suppresses incriminating evidence, only to find himself the chief suspect in a criminal investigation. Suddenly, this well-connected man-about-town is a pariah, hounded by the police and forced to find the true culprit and clear his name. More importantly, he must re-examine whether it is important to be accepted by a society based on betrayal, hypocrisy, and corruption.

    Avoid

    Do not rent this if you expect an exciting thriller. Woody Harelson is good, as is the acting in general, but the pacing is terrible. My first single star goes to The Walker.

    Sit on a drawing pin

    I know, it's unusual to review the truly dreadful but I feel I must save you, dear reader from what I had to go through. This was appalling. Woody playing some sort of gay walker; apparently somebody who takes ladies wot lunch out shopping. His portrayal of the character is so uninspiring, you really can't wait for a scene without him.

    If you want to get to the end of the movie, you'll need to .... sit on a drawing pin to keep awake.

    Ideal gift for the mother-in-law!
