Watch: Walker Payne 2006 123movies, Full Movie Online – In a small Illinois town in 1957 (based on the license plate on Walker’s ’48-’50 Ford pickup) the coal mine where Walker works is shutting down, putting him out of work. The reason is one that would not likely have existed in 1957–government regulations on coal sulfur content. Walker has two daughters Sarah and Beth who are being raised by Lou Ann, a waitress. Walker loves his kids and they love him, Lou Ann doesn’t care how but she expects child support or Walker won’t see his girls. Walker would make a better parent except for the fact he is a loser who drinks and has supposedly dated every woman in the county. First Walker goes to the bank where Audrey works and takes everything out. Including Audrey. They eventually move in together. But Lou Ann wants to better herself and she demands $5000 so she can go to nursing school. In 1957? Where’s she going, Vassar? At a baseball game, Walker and his dog Brute meet Syrus, a charming and persuasive man who says Brute looks like an ideal fighting dog. Walker won’t let Brute fight. And Walker’s friend Chester, who takes in strays, agrees. But Lou Ann ups the ante and says Walker won’t see his daughters until she gets the money. So Walker has no choice. The dog is actually pretty good, but how much punishment can Brute take? And this is an industry in which the owners shoot the losers. Plus the events have to be hidden from the cops. So what’s going to happen? Will Walker get his kids? Will Brute make it?.
Plot: A small-town father is forced to make difficult, heartbreaking decisions in order to save his two daughters.

Raw Emotions: A Film Without Pity
WALKER PAYNE, as written by director Matt Williams and Alex Paraskevas, is a bleak study of life in the late 1950s middle America. It is a story of dreams crushed by the tough realities of bad luck and bad decisions. For some viewers this story may be depressing, but for others the story as a cinematic recreation of a period of time in America is full of fine details and boasts a cast of excellent actors who manage to involve us in the fleeting hopes and the permanent scars that are magnified during difficult times and circumstances.

Walker Payne (Jason Patric), a lovable man with a prison record, works in an Illinois coal mine, spends his free time womanizing, yet is strongly attached to his two young daughters who now live with his estranged wife (Drea de Matteo) – a woman angry with her plight in life, having sacrificed her dreams of being a nurse to move to the little mining town, surviving as a waitress without child support from the financially delinquent Walker. His closest companion is his Pit Bull dog Brute who accompanies him everywhere. Walker longs to have his girls live with him, but the injured wife puts a price on that wish: she will give him possession of the girls for a fee of $5000., a figure she has calculated will pay for her leaving the little town she hates and pay for tuition and boarding in nursing school.

Walker is at a loss for funds, especially when the mine shuts down and he is unemployed. Seeking help from his banker friend does not result in a loan but does acquaint him with a new woman in town – Audrey (KaDee Strickland) – a proper girl with her own reasons for ‘escaping’ to the solitudes of the little mining town where she has a responsible position in the bank. Walker’s close friend (Bruce Dern) collects stray animals and cares for them and is the source of Walker’s gaining Brute as a pet, but when the desperate Walker seeks employment there, no funds are available for his help. Walker’s roving romantic eye focuses on Audrey who plays hard to get until she sees how desperate Walker is to get the money to gain custody of his daughters, a fact which positively alters her perception of Walker. About this time Walker meets Syrus (Sam Shepard), a man who gambles and makes under cover deals: one of his ‘games’ is to find dogs who can fight for money and as he gets loser to Walker’s desperation, he convinces him to train Brute to ‘be the dog he was bred to be – a fighter’. Walker hesitates until he realizes this is his only chance to make the money to gain his little girls. Brute is trained, wins a fight, and Syrus then challenges Walker to enter a championship fight that will provide all the money Walker needs. Very reluctantly Walker steps into what is a scheme that results in tragedies in which he seems to lose it all – his dog, his freedom, his new love, and his girls. The audience is left to wade through the depression of the last portion of the film and create individual versions of how the story could possibly end.

There are some unresolved issues dealing with the motivations of some of the characters, but the film is very strong in allowing the viewer to understand the extremes to which people will go in times of crisis. Many portions of the film are difficult to watch (the dog fights are graphic), but somehow the actors are able to create strong enough impressions that our attention is focused more on the desperate and fragile dreams of each of the characters. The musical score by Mason Daring enhances the visceral cinematography by James L. Carter. This is a dark film with moments of human frailty that provide small beams of hopeful light. Grady Harp
