An amazingly true story that still challenges audiences with its complex notions of justice and revenge.

There just aren't enough cheap action thrills to make this a true action movie or enough depth for a serious piece.

In many ways, this is better than the original.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 17, 2016

...a passable yet forgettable action extravaganza.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 6, 2015

OK as a WWE grudge match, but not as a movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 29, 2010

Dwayne Johnson scores another fun action adventure with competent acting, great fights, and good direction.

Like the hicksploitation genre from which it was spawned, Walking Tall is long on violence and short on police procedure.

It is not quite violent, drunken, or naked enough to be as trashily entertaining as the Patrick Swayze cult favorite Roadhouse.

Walking Tall, at the very least, can turn in its claim ticket as the silliest movie of the new year.

It's not a mammoth of filmmaking, that much is true, but The Rock proves he knows what he's doing and crafts a genuinely entertaining hero.
