Entertainment Reviews:
With a delicate Joe Strummer score, appropriately gory violence...[and] a penchant for Peckinpah-esque staging....Still as relevant today...
Film Comment
Rating: 4/4 --
Walker is the dark, neurotic flipside of Repo Man, where the antiheroic title character is not interested in any form of individual self-expression other than a single-minded pursuit of fame and glory.

Some bad movies are in no hurry to announce themselves, but Walker declares its badness right from the opening titles.

...[The] lensing by David Bridges gives the picture a rich look....[The score] deftly mixes traditional and modern sounds and develops one haunting theme...

Rating: C+ --
Cox and writer Rudy Wurlitzer get the politics right, but don't know how to clearly tell their story without seeming like loonies.

...Consistently intelligent....WALKER is something very rare in American movies these days. It has some nerve...

Product Description:
This offbeat historical drama is another in a line of hard-to-categorize films from cult director Alex Cox. Ed Harris stars as William Walker, an idealistic doctor, lawyer, and journalist who, at age 32, led a bloody revolution and installed himself as president of Nicaragua under orders from Cornelius Vanderbilt (Peter Boyle). Harris's performance is terrific, the violence is effective and well-used, and the film conveys an uncompromising political viewpoint without ever lapsing into preachiness.
