A ferocious and feverish work of protest cinema, director Alex Cox (Repo Man, Sid & Nancy) brings his trademark irreverence to this one-of-a-kind biopic of American filibuster William Walker. Driven by a uniquely intense and controlled performance by Ed Harris and surrounded by a treasure trove of character actors from René Auberjonois to Marlee Matlin, Cox’s anachronistic study of a man driven mad by power resembles the best kind of history lesson. Bringing modernity to a timeless story of American exceptionalism, this satire of manifest destiny remains relentlessly relevant and endlessly creative.

“‘Walker’ is witty, rather than laugh-out-loud funny. Without being solemn, it’s deadly serious. It’s also provocative enough to reach beyond – if not preach to – those who already are converted. ‘Walker’ is something very rare in American movies these days. It has some nerve.” ~ Vincent Canby, The New York Times
