Description

A hallucinatory biopic that breaks all cinematic conventions, Walker, from British director Alex Cox, tells the story of nineteenth-century American adventurer William Walker (Ed Harris), who abandoned a series of careers in law, politics, journalism, and medicine to become a soldier of fortune and, for many months, the dictator of Nicaragua. Made with mad abandon and political acuity—and the support of the Sandinista army and government during the contra war—the film uses this true tale as a satirical attack on American ultrapatriotism and a freewheeling condemnation of “manifest destiny.” Featuring a powerful score by Joe Strummer and a performance of intense, repressed rage by Harris, Walker remains one of Cox’s most daring works.

    • Must have for fans of Alex Cox
Fun, idiosyncratic flick. Good depiction of the type of manifest destiny BS philosophy that used to drive American capitalism.

One of the angriest movies ever made. I watched this with my dad and was half expecting him to throw the blu ray player across the room the entire time.

    • Wonderful movie
A great illustration of a real historical event that compares history to the current events of the time of production as well as now. The soundtrack by Joe Strummer is fantastic!

    • While you were goose-stepping...
This review begins with the question you should be asking. Why isn't this film available in the US anymore? Hmm, can't imagine. Ed Harris plays Walker-A Calvinist pseudo-intellectual who leads a private army (with funding from big American companies)on a crusade to conquer portions of Mexico and Central America in the belief that it is the United States'MANIFEST DESTINY to control the hemisphere and all of its people. A deal with Cornelius Vanderbilt (Peter Boyle) sends Walker and his 'Immortals' to Nicaragua to 'stabilise' the country for the planned Panama Canal. Excellent performances by Miguel Sandovahl, Richard Masur, Xander Berkely, Marlee Maitlin, Rene Auberjenois, John Diehl, Fox Harris and a host of guest spots by Alex Cox alumni such as members of the Pogues, Ed Pansullo, Xander Schloss, Dick Rude, Michele Winstanley and more. Amazing soundtrack by Joe Strummer of Clash fame (he plays a small part in the film). Much is made of the anachronistic shots of coke bottles, Time magazine, computers and modern cars-all to remind you that this country has been picking fights with anyone it can since our inception. It's really no wonder that Walker is hard to find in the "Land of the Free" as it warns us all that our freedoms come through a price that someone somewhere else is paying right now. This movie should be shown to anyone who can't remember what it was like when Americans had the cajones to look in the mirror and admit the truth. God bless Alex Cox. ... show more

    • Awful
We were amazed at how bad this was, given the story it had to work with. Even Ed Harris, who pretty much never gives a bad performance, was not good. I think he was trying to play down the excesses of the character but going whole hog would probably have been better. If you can find a decent copy of Brando's Burn, that's a far better movie if not particularly accurate about Walker. ... show more

    • Walker
This is a little known film directed by Alex Cox and well worth watching. I was Production Manager for the Tucson location. This film is filled with Anachronism's,i. e., all sorts of modern items creep into a film that supposedly took place in the 1800's. It is a sleeper and fun to watch.
