    A bit slow at times

    I found Harleyson's accent difficult to hear at times. Generally found it a bit slow. I am sure there was depths to the film I missed as my brain kept ... more

    Awful

    As poor a film as you are likely to see, especially given the potential. Avoid at all costs!

    Not that bad!

    Unusual view of a foreign society

    A walker is a man who appears to be refined, charming and socially skilled enough to escort rich, posh ladies around Washington. But Harrelson's character ... more

    A star cast = boring and uninspired

    Like the review title says... A huge let down. No passion, no thrill. By the end of the movie I thought 'Is that it'? I doubt many people will find this... more
