Variety
Even if this isn't Schrader's best, it's hardly his worst. - 63
New York Post
Harrelson's charming flamboyance - seen to great effect in "No Country for Old Men" - is a great fit for Carter, who carries no small amount of self-loathing under his carefully coifed toupee. - 63
New York Daily News
Schrader's main interest is not in the mystery, per se, but in the political intrigue of incestuous Washington, where conflicts of interest are the norm and morality is indeed relative. The points are well-taken, but Harrelson's performance often gets in their way. - 60
Village Voice
This is a serious movie and, gliding around the center of power, a stylish one. But, like its protagonist, The Walker is unable to close the deal. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
While it can be labeled a thriller or a murder mystery, the film is talky, unhurried, contains little action and shows more interest in how characters think and behave than in its plot. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
The brittle, very ''written'' catty quips meant to characterize Washington hypocrisy sound perfunctory; the story of an aging, self-hating homosexual who goes home alone to his lacquered town house feels ancient as well as uncomfortable for the writer-director. (Harrelson seems both game and ill at ease.) - 50
The New York Times
By the end of The Walker a movie that begins as a dazzling round of charades has deteriorated into a plodding game of Clue. - 50
Los Angeles Times
The whole thing feels fusty and forced.
