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.

Shane by any other name
Shane by any other name. Having said that, highly entertaining. Good cast, but fairly run of the mill script and cinematography. Bad guys particularly good.

Does not hit the spot.
The film tries hard. Presented in the style of an 'A TEAM episode'. Good if that is what you like. The only point that saves it is that it is supposed ... read more »

Walking Tall Reviews 2004
This fantastic film had me buzzing from the word GO..
The main actor came across with panache and was extremely watchable...Not the sort of film to ... read more »
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...
