The Walker (2007)

Carter Page makes a living out of escorting married women to the opera, playing cards with them, exchanging gossip. Suddenly he is dragged into the center of a sordid story of murder, adultery, blackmail, involving one of his escortees.

The film depicts the fragility of one's position in the world, when one's relations are not built upon solid values. Or perhaps it is the chronicling of a certain era in U.S. politics. Perhaps a little of both. The writing is uneven: at times we are surprised by the wit of the dialogue and the accuracy of the psychology, at other times it barely manages to rise above triteness. On the average it is good enough to keep one's interest.
