The Rock is very good again, but this is not the best movie. It is okay though. I did enjoy myself, but I wish the Rock could get some better roles.... Full review

A good movie, good effects. The lead did very well. Don't forget to watch the original Walking Tall, Joe Don Baker. Brian Dennehy also did a walking tall back in the 70's.... Full review

The Rock's image should be alright after this outing but this is truly not his finest movie. The story seems to exist solely to set up the next fight scene.... Full review

it's always entertaining.....In the brusque action flick Walking Tall, The Rock's Chris Vaughn returns home from the Special Services only to discover....At times it may be silly, over-the-top and even forgettable.... ... Full Review

Back in the late 60's to the early 70's the cinema was hit with a tidal wave of daring and violent movies.....ignoring the strong original this is not a bad film....The action scenes are pretty good....it's not a great one either.... ... Full Review

So far, so like the 1973 version of Walking Tall .....This scene doesn't quite pack the punch of Buford Pusser removing his bright red shirt (set against a sea of white ones), to show his disfigured torso, in part....This commentary, and the other one, by director Kevin Bray, co-editor Robert Ivison, and cinematographer Glen MacPherson, are indeed entertaining..... ... Full Review

Walking Tall takes its basic plot from the 1973 original, based on the life of Sheriff Buford Pusser.
The self-congratulatory Fight the Good Fight features members of cast and crew talking about the realism of the fight scenes, no matter their narrative or thematic contexts.

True, he does lose his great big shiny truck, but this Walking Tall offers no context and no particular lessons learned, except that big sticks work.
Its also considerably streamlined, with regard to motivation and action.
