The Walker

Although boasting a fairly stellar cast (Lauren Bacall, Lily Tomlin, Kristin Scott Thomas, Willem Dafoe, Ned Beatty and Woody Harrelson), this movie just sort of limped along.

Harrelson plays the gay companion of wives of the Washington powerful who gets sucked into a murder conspiracy.

Harrelson's performance is interesting for its curiosity factor, the macho man playing against type, but the movie is weak.

I saw this one the same night that I saw Charlie Wilson's War (which coincidentally also featured Ned Beatty) and The Walker suffers in comparison.
