Reviews:
“Director and writer Mick Davis has a full plate and does an impressive job of balancing all the elements of this story. Many of his cinematic references are obvious but he combines them skillfully and with solid characters to serve up an engaging film. Additionally, a talented cast makes for a solid viewing experience.” Fears Magazine
“If you enjoy a good revenge story, where the main protagonist doesn’t start doing stupid things, then be sure to check out Walden. No doubt any criminal would rather go to jail than be faced with his creative wrath […] This is good entertainment, but it could’ve been a great movie if the editing and script had been a bit tighter!” ★★★ Heaven of Horror
“Ultimately, Walden tries to be several different kinds of films and pretty much fails across the board. It’s nice to see someone try and do something a little different with the genre, but it needed to do it a lot better. What might have been more interesting would be having him go after prosecutors who do things, like withhold evidence, that allow criminals to go free.” ★½ Voices from the Balcony
