　真正的意思就在电影的最后2分钟说明了，就是他回去找那个他保护了免受绯闻纠缠的女人。那女人问为什么你会静了这么多风险来保护我的名声？男人回答：我用了这一辈子来思考一个问题，那谋杀案是一个谜，但是终究能够被揭开，真正的不可琢磨的是活着的人（他花了那么长时间交的朋友经历这件事后背叛了他，一个对他单相思的同性恋男人却和患难与共），当然还有他自己：一个正直的父亲的叛逆的儿子，没有一点像他的父亲，儿子的所作所为正式做父亲的英雄形象的反面：反英雄形象，包括他这一辈子都玩世不恭，从事被人瞧不起的职业，受到挫折和委屈，却用自嘲而一带而过。这个儿子花一辈子去扮演一个反英雄的角色，来逃避父亲给他的巨大压力。到头来，却发现自己像生怕让父亲失望的小孩子一样，希望赢得父亲的认同，让父亲感到骄傲。这个儿子不是传统意义上的英雄，但是却同样值得敬重。
　　
　　整个电影有点沉闷，故事的经过也不十分吸引人，但是却很真实，演员的表演也到位。知道最后你真的明白了整个影片所要表达的主题，你会觉得没有白看这部电影。
　　
　　那个指示谋杀并诬陷了主角的议员的意图在影片中，当他被主角所揭穿的时候，也表达得很清楚：主角的父亲是个大英雄，但是不识时务，该死。主角玩世不恭，作为舞男的神风更加被人所不齿，也该死，美国人需要所谓的美国精神，这个人正是这种精神的维护者。可惜这个维护者最后还是失败了。

补充一句，这不是一个娱乐片，所以不会很精彩，到那时演员表演都很到位。精彩台词：

"Memory is a very unreliable organ," says Bacall: "It's right up there with the penis."

"it's just sex," she retorts with, "And that stuff you're breathing is just oxygen!"

THE WALKER is an extremely biting, well written, dark suspense thriller by Paul Schrader with a knock out cast of actors that blend right into their nasty characters with humor and a killing sense of themselves and their self worth. As one character points out, "it's always about the money", and in THE WALKER, I would say that it is ALWAYS about POWER and the perception of what people think of you and the power you hold.

Woody Harrelson is simply terrific in his role of "Walker", and you are reminded of Truman Capote and the attention he gave to society women to propel his importance of being a "gossip monger". The film also brings to the surface the superficiality of "nail a star, be a star", and the underlying elements of what it takes to make it in Washington politics. THE WALKER, like CAPOTE and INFAMOUS, leaves you with a desire to find a life built on something more than being famous and well known and for Woody Harrelson, to create a relationship built upon the honesty of his sexuality.
