TOMATOMETER
Walker is a fascinating character in his own right, and Ed Harris gives one of his best performances as the repressed, crazy, but compelling general.
Sight and Sound
With a delicate Joe Strummer score, appropriately gory violence...[and] a penchant for Peckinpah-esque staging....Still as relevant today...
Film Comment
[An] agitprop satire of Ronald Reagan's misadventures in Central America... -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
...Consistently intelligent....WALKER is something very rare in American movies these days. It has some nerve...
New York Times
...[The] lensing by David Bridges gives the picture a rich look....[The score] deftly mixes traditional and modern sounds and develops one haunting theme...
Variety
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.
