Alex Cox seems to strive to be a cult director a little too much in my opinion. Such is the case with Walker. This film starts out serious, and is kind of interesting, hammy acting and all, and then just goes completly sideways. It seems to me that Alex Cox just kind of threw out the idea of this being anything but a dark comedy, and threw in stuff like newsweek and time magazines, helicopters, and computers. Worth a view, but I think that after Repo Man and Sid and Nancy, Alex Cox took his label of cult director a little too far, and that is why you don't really see much of anything by him. I think that this is why Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was taken away from him and given to Terry Gilliam. Still, i don't think that you have heard the last from Cox, and I think that he will one day return to the limelight that he was once in. Lets just hope he doesn't fall out of it again.
