“Walkaway Joe” (** out of four) was a pleasant but minor character study about the relationship between a young boy (Julian Feder) and a wandering loner (David Straitharn) and how their need for comfort and companionship keeps them together even as fate and circumstance and the boy’s hustling father (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) threaten to tear them apart. Good performances from Morgan and Straitharn as usual are undone by film’s meandering storyline and tedious pacing. There simply isn’t enough story here to maintain near two hours. Viewers should themselves “walkaway” from this and watch “Flesh And Bone” or “At Close Range” instead.
