Walking Tall
Chris Vaughn (The Rock) has come home. He's a retired U.S. Special Forces soldier who has returned to his hometown to renew old relationships and make a new life for himself. But while Chris was away, his boyhood town wasted away to a dilapidated, crime-ridden shell of itself. His wealthy high school rival, Jay Hamilton (Neal McDonough), has closed the once-prosperous lumber mill - once the area's largest employer - and has turned the town's resources towards criminal gains. The place Chris grew up is now overrun with crime, drugs, and violence.
Enlisting the help of his old pal Ray Templeton (Johnny Knoxville), Chris gets elected sheriff and vows to shut down Hamilton's operations. His actions endanger his family and threaten his own life, but Chris refuses to back down until his hometown once again feels like home.

A creaky, thuggish vehicle revived for a new action star, who does all that is expected in providing unthinking violence as the righteous smite the ungodly.

The best thing to be said about this kind of perniciously violent sub-Rambo Hollywood macho action bullshit is... read more on Time Out

Really not that bad
Rented this thinking I'd only watch the first half hour or so but I was pleasantly suprised. It's actually not a bad film, in fact very watchable and the Rock is pretty good in this kind of role (I'm not a 'rock' fan by the way). Give it a try you might be suprised, not a cultural milestone but an easy watch with enough action to keep everyone happy.

V Poor
One man and his bat takes on the town that he once grew up in, dealing justice out to the bad guys with his wonder bat and his truck which he has customised to cater for his mighty bat. Enjoy!!!

This Sporting Life: What Happens When Sports Heroes Act Up?
- 10 Jun 2009
This Sporting Life: What Happens When Sports Heroes Act Up? Eric Cantona and Ken Loach. These are not names you would immediately put together. One is a multi-millionaire (surely?) ex footballer, revered by millons of fans; and French. The other is a proud socialist from middle-England (Nuneaton), who has rejected the big money offers; his films are admired but by a relatively small number of committed film buffs. What's more, Ken Loach is a dedicated supporter of Bath FC. I'm guessing there... Read more
