By the end of The Walker a movie that begins as a dazzling round of charades has deteriorated into a plodding game of Clue.

The whole thing feels fusty and forced.
The brittle, very ''written'' catty quips meant to characterize Washington hypocrisy sound perfunctory; the story of an aging, self-hating homosexual who goes home alone to his lacquered town house feels ancient as well as uncomfortable for the writer-director. (Harrelson seems both game and ill at ease.)
This is a serious movie and, gliding around the center of power, a stylish one. But, like its protagonist, The Walker is unable to close the deal.
While it can be labeled a thriller or a murder mystery, the film is talky, unhurried, contains little action and shows more interest in how characters think and behave than in its plot.
Even if this isn't Schrader's best, it's hardly his worst.
A quietly enthralling film because it contains the murder and the investigation within Carter's smooth calm.
