Walking Tall (2004)
Chris Vaughn is a retired soldier who returns to his hometown to make a new life for himself, only to discover his wealthy high school rival, Jay Hamilton, has closed the once-prosperous lumber mill to turn the town's resources towards his own criminal gains. 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.

OK as a WWE grudge match, but not as a movie.
April 03, 2004
The film is comprised of four violent action scenes tied together by nearly 50 minutes of alternately hilarious (unintentionally, of course) and dull filler.

When the credits roll after the climactic beatdown, the story feels like it's missing an act.

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

In many ways, this is better than the original.

... a real disappointment.

Walking Tall actually underserves its star, who is better than schlocky material like this would lead you to believe.
April 06, 2015
...a passable yet forgettable action extravaganza.
September 29, 2006
It is not quite violent, drunken, or naked enough to be as trashily entertaining as the Patrick Swayze cult favorite Roadhouse.

This revised Walking Tall has only kinetic energy going for it.

Like the hicksploitation genre from which it was spawned, Walking Tall is long on violence and short on police procedure.
April 02, 2004
One mediocre, ploddingly predictable film, loaded down with cheesy Hollywood tactics.
