Synopsis
The Walker (2007) is a Paul Schrader mystery drama you can watch online on iFILM. Carter Page III makes his living escorting the bored wives of Washington power players to galas while their husbands chase influence. Polished status, flawless manners, never a word out of place.
It all comes apart when one of his regulars, a senator's wife, discovers her lover stabbed to death. Carter steps in to shield her and reaches the scene first, which is exactly where the police find him. Soon he is the prime suspect, untangling a case that climbs toward the top of the capital on his own. Woody Harrelson plays it all in soft shades, surrounded by Kristin Scott Thomas, Lauren Bacall, Willem Dafoe and Lily Tomlin.
Schrader, who wrote Taxi Driver, closes out his run of lonely watcher-men with this one. It is quiet, talky, and pointed about the price of respectability in a city where everyone is using everyone. Made for viewers who rate character over gunfire. Stream The Walker (2007) online on iFILM.
