      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 ... read more »

      On the cheap

      There is a rather good moral and psychological study at the heart of this disappointing film. Woody Harrelson I thought entirely convincing as the handsome, ... read more »

      Too stylised

      Woody Harleson's accent is almost indecipherable to my ears which didn't help in this wordy film.

      Couldn't engage with any other ... read more »

      The Walker

      This film started off quite well but I have to admit about 20 minutes from the end I began to lose interest! It all got a little bit silly and complicated and ... read more »

      Too slow

      Enjoyable film by the end but it took so long to get going. Some great performances, especially Woody Harrelston.

      URGH!

      I turn this off after half an hour and can't believe it took me that long. Woody Harrelson plays should be put up for the most annoying character on screen... read more »

      Given the stellar quality of the cast I was hoping for good things, but.... it was slow, unengaging, talky and Woody Harrelson's accent was worse than his ... read more »

      Good Idea

      Whilst this sounded like a wonderful idea on paper, the film itself was a disappointment. The acting was so subtle and reserved that for me it lacked any ... read more »

      The Walker

      What a waste of a rental! I didn't even finish watching this film as it was so bad. Woody Harrelson is usually brilliant, but I really didn't care about... read more »

      The Walker

      Woody's acting is wonderful- he brings a real dignified power to the role, but the story is somehow unsatisfying- it just seems to peter out in a fairly ... read more »
