Christopher Walken s greatest trick is playing regular guys. There has never been anyone remotely like this charismatic, eerie actor a man whose preparation for roles includes retyping all of his own dialogue without punctuation so you might expect that when he forgoes flagrant eccentricity and settles into normal parts, like the father in Catch Me if You Can, he d disappear and become dull. But somehow the magnetism remains even when he s playing the calm center of the storm, and ceding colorful supporting player energy to his fellow actors.
Advertisement Percy vs. Goliath gives Walken a stoic, reactive, salt-of-the-earth part drawn from reality: a Manitoba farmer who goes to court against international agriculture Monsanto.

There is a saying: if you are not a socialist when you are 18, you have no heart. If you are a socialist when you are 40, you have no brain. This sound like it could be a motto of the Republican Party, though the GOP would not likely use the first half of the statement but, instead, would be all for capitalism and the big guys. Nonetheless, even Republicans age 40 would feel a tug on their heart-strings watching a hard-working farmer whose land was in his family since the days of the Austrian Empire, now threatened with a loss of everything: the house, the farm, and if he had one, a dog. (Wait: I take that back about Republicans over 40.) In this true case which has been fictionalized for dramatic effects, Christopher Walker takes the lead role as Percy Schm
