Synopsis: Chris Vaughn has come home. He's a retired U.S. Special Forces soldier who has returned to his hometown to renew old relationships and make a new life for himself. But while Chris was away, his boyhood town wasted away to a dilapidated, crime-ridden shell of itself. His wealthy high school rival, Jay Hamilton, has closed the once-prosperous lumber mill--once the area's largest employer--and has turned the town's resources towards criminal gains. The place Chris grew up is now overrun with crime, drugs, and violence. Enlisting the help of his old pal Ray Templeton, 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. Chris Vaughn won't talk softly any longer--and he carries a very big stick.
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Johnny Knoxville, Neal McDonough, Kristen Wilson, Ashley Scott
Directed by: Kevin Bray
U.S. Rating: PG-13
A plot based on a true story always catches my eye. If it has Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the main character, then becomes in a "must watch". Even though the script offered just a very basic summary of the original story, Dwayne Johnson and Jhonny Knoxville offered great action and funny scenes to the film, making it (at least) entertaining. Dwayne Johnson has proved that he's a really good actor. He's proved he has the talent to play great roles in any drama, comedy, suspense or action film and give his best. He can turn every single movie into a blockbuster due to his professional efforts in making his roles enjoyable and entertaining. That's exactly what he did in Walking Tall. Walking Tall is not all about the story, but the entertaining roles played by these guys.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Definitely, the action scenes are the best. Every one of the fighting scenes at the Casino and the shooting scene at the Sheriff's office can be considered really entertaining
2. Johnny Knoxville gives the comedy touch to the plot. I really enjoyed when Knoxville laughs after they destroyed the Booth's truck and Booth says that they're gonna get hurt, making a barking noise at the end
3. The whole big stick situation, really interesting. I don't know if the original story was just like the described in this plot, but if it is like it really happened, it was really interesting
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The situation at the court session, when The Rock defends himself and he gives a short basic speech and closes it opening his shirt. I don't know if it was exactly as it happened, but I think they could have offered more accurate material and more drama to the plot
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
