Immersed in a Southern Gothic context, “Walden” is an interesting take on vigilantism. Go to Full Review
Jon Mendelsohn CBR 11/10/2023
Walden, starring Emile Hirsch, is a mishmash of tones that doesn't work as a thriller, but the film's unexpected quirks keep it watchable. Go to Full Review

L.L 11/19/2023 It was great! Emile Hirsch is such a great actor. He had the best lines and was great at delivering. I highly recommend watching it. See more Dean S. @DeanDFW 4h Interesting characters but the story feels disjointed. Honestly it feels like the first episode of a series that’s never going to get made! See more jacehtc01 T @RT58231103 May 2 Great acting by everyone, movie storyline was good, but it would have been better as an episode of some tv show. The romance side was completely disconnected and superfluous from the main plot, so that part felt like a waste of time.

I'm not sure about this movie's production history, i.e. whether it ever got a theatrical release, or was just one more piece of content destined to go straight to DVD (or 'steaming service' these days). But, either way, it does actually feel like it has a decent budget which can afford good actors and a tight script that does make it stand out. It's about an unassuming court scribe who everyone overlooks and therefore would never expect that he has a tendency to 'do away with' any criminals who don't get what they deserve in the courtroom. I won't go into any more detail regarding the rest of the plot as I don't want to spoil it, as this one is actually worth watching if you find it online. No, it's probably not worth paying the full price of a cinema admission, but definitely better than the sludge that you find clogging up most streaming services. There are a few times where you have to suspend your disbelief in order to let the film continue (in real life I'm guessing the story would end much earlier!), but it's still enjoyable enough to watch.
