Description: A relentless, almost visceral energy pulses through 'Walker,' a film that transcends its biographical subject matter to become a potent meditation on power, ambition, and the corrosive nature of unchecked ego. The stark cinematography mirrors the harsh landscape of Nicaragua, a fitting backdrop for the morally ambiguous central figure. While the narrative might occasionally feel fragmented, it’s this very rawness that allows the audience to truly grapple with the complex legacy of William Walker. The film doesn’t offer easy answers, instead leaving viewers to confront the uncomfortable truths about the seductive allure and ultimate hollowness of revolutionary fervor. It's a challenging, rewarding watch for those who crave cinema that provokes thought rather than offering simple gratification.
