Storyline

Carter Page III, a middle-aged gay man in Washington, D. C., is a "walker", a single man who escorts other men's wives to social events so the husbands do not have to. One of the women he escorts, Lynn Lockner, is the wife of a United States senator and is carrying on an affair with a lobbyist. When she finds the lobbyist murdered, she embroils Carter in an investigation that leads to the highest levels of the federal government.

Critics consensus

“Despite a strong performance from Woody Harrelson, The Walker can be slow and dull at times, detracting from the talented cast.”

The Walker is a well-lubed vehicle for Schrader's own sunset cruise.

Paul Schrader directs The Walker, and the writer has a way with understatement. Like his 1992 gem Light Sleeper, this movie draws you in with its reserve.

[G]uilty of the most mortal of all movie sins: It's dull.

RTPaste MagazineJun 24, 2024

What buckles The Walker is languid pacing and too much murder-mystery, which isn’t nearly as noteworthy as the social ramifications of this man stepping out of his lane and changing his stripes—or at least considering it.
