Storyline

Carter Page III holds a special place in Washington society: the gay son and grandson of powerful men, he has connections, manners, and he's no threat, so he's an available escort when a woman's husband would rather not accompany her to a public event. When the secret lover of one of his women friends is murdered, she asks Carter to cover for her, and his acquiescence gets him into immediate trouble with the police and an ambitious prosecutor. Carter, with the help of his lover Emek, starts his own investigation. They're warned off by someone's hired muscle. Can Carter figure out what happened or will he lose more than he realizes he has? Human behavior is a mystery. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

The Whitehouse Thriller ?
30 August 2007 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

This film is a cunning web of intrigue and subtle hints as to the next twist. It has a believable plot and a very believable cast.

Woody "the third" must get an Oscar for this. He truly dominates every scene and never lets a deep south accent waiver at all. I think Woody comes from the gore background and enjoys getting in character and making his audience want. This is his pure character acting masterpiece.

The flick is a pleasure to watch although "suffers" from clever dialogue and a slightly slow start. The title needs explained :- it doesn't spoil the film but makes it clearer. "The Walker" is a man who escorts important women from the administration.

All in all, a gripping watch, if you survive the first 15 minutes you'll watch the end again!
