Synopsis
In Walking Tall, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays Chris Vaughn, 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 (Neal McDonough), has closed the once-prosperous lumber mill and turned the town's resources towards his own 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.
Critics' reviews
  • "Exciting stuff in its primitive, predictable way."
  • "A fine shoot-'em-up remake. The story is mildly gripping, and the action is fresh and entertaining."
  • "Moves along at a clip and provides a terrific action lead for Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson."
  • "A dull, drab and pointless rehash, Walking Tall ironically manages to diminish the Rock's stature as both a leading man and an action star."
  • "Though there's something mildly disarming about a movie this unpretentious, a few more like it might end up turning The Rock into a TV actor."
  • "Lacks the raw power of the original but offers its own brand of exploitative fun."
  • "To its credit, the new Walking Tall is a good half-hour shorter than its predecessor, but even at 86 minutes, sitting through it is a chore."
