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.

    Well I enjoyed it!

    This film is great and has it all, the Rock makes this film for sure. I love a good action film which is believabe and this is certainly it. The 2nd casino fight scene kicks ass and I had to watch it over and over again. Brilliant film, didn't care it was on for 80 minutes makes me more likely to watch it again. Anyway I hate films that drag on just to make the time up. 5 stars all the way keep them coming Rock.

    Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, seems like a genial sort. The ex college footballer, ex WWE star broke into movies playing the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns seven years ago and proved his box office credentials with Walking Tall in 2004, but he's resisted the obvious action movie route. Instead he played gay in Be Cool and managed to retain his dignity (no easy task in that movie); turned in a perfectly respectable performance in The Gridiron Gang, and plunged headlong into Richard Kelly's...
