Review of Walking Tall

Walking Tall (2004)
4/10
Some how, I don't think much of this film...
7 February 2006
was based on the true story it claims to be. It was so far-fetched. Sure, there was probably a guy who comes home after being in the military and has a beef with old school mate, who now is involved in illegal activities. He becomes sheriff and cleans the town up. In this movie, the Rock, plays Chris Vaughn, the soldier who returns home. He takes a 2 by 4 smashes up a casino and is found not guilty. WTF! He gets carved up by casino security because he catches the dealer cheating and won't drop it. There are many fights and shoot outs. And he fires all the deputies and makes his goofy friend the only deputy. The bad guys put thousands of bullet holes in the police office, yet never hit Chris. And Chris doesn't even call the state police? Then there is this silly axe fight scene at the end. I don't know how this didn't get a R rating. But, the worst part of the film has to be Chris's love interest. She is some sort of stripper and is only there to run around in a bra during the police office shoot out scene. It was so silly.

FINAL VERDICT: Bad script, very violent not to be R rated. I don't recommend it.
