- Critics' reviews
-
-
"On one hand, it's an ultraviolent revenge fantasy, and on the other hand, it's a masterpiece of over-the-top unintentional hilarity"
-
"'Walking Tall' grabs you where trash and violence invariably do, with excellent performers, shrewd plotting and pacing."
-
"This rabble-rousing movie appeals to a deep-seated belief in simple, swift, Biblical justice; the visceral impact of the film makes one know how crowds must feel when they're being swayed by demagogues."
-
"Like it or not, 'Walking tall' is saying something very important to many people, and it is saying it with accomplished artistry."
-
"It's an interesting example of how a stock Western plot can assume some fairly explicit political ramifications once it is transposed to a modern setting (not that that is any recommendation)."
