SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Leofwine_draca The Rock stars in this lean, pared-down action yarn that rehashes an old, tired plot into a fairly entertaining family film. In fact, WALKING TALL is a throwback to the '80s, when superstars like Chuck Norris and Schwarzenegger were filling cinemas with their own particular brand of action-heavy offerings. WALKING TALL, therefore, is pleasantly old-fashioned, concentrating on providing plenty of ass-whooping and little plot to get in the way. In fact, there's too little plot in this film; running at only seventy minutes, it goes by all too fast, and you're left wanting more at the end.The Rock is decent in this film; he's no Al Pacino, but then he's no Hulk Hogan either. He fits somewhere in the middle of modern-day action super stars and is certainly both amiable and likable in his role. Sadly, the supporting cast aren't all that great; Johnny Knoxville is particularly poor as The Rock's predictably crazy buddy, whilst Neal McDonough's villain is of the vanilla variety. The less said about love interest Kristen Wilson the better.As for the action, the first casino brawl is full of rubbishy editing and cut-aways, meaning you never quite see what's going. Thankfully, the rest of the action sequences (about four of 'em) are all well-shot and exciting, particularly the moment when The Rock visits the casino and starts kicking backside with his piece of wood – a classic action scene! The shoot-out at the police station is also well handled and nicely over-the-top, whilst the climatic axe fight is mediocre in comparison, but still has some good stunts. The only real downside is this film's dumb humour (centred around Knoxville's character) which just doesn't appeal. The good news is that it doesn't overwhelm and spoil what is otherwise a simple, straightforward action film.

regahsof This movie, given its star actor, is what I imagine watching a wrestling match is like. There is nonstop action and movement with breaks taken only due to fatigue. From the opening camera moving across the landscape, to Chris on a moving ferry, to Chris walking for the entire opening credits back home, you don't encounter many, if any, scenes of one setting, with two actors in a one-on-one situation, engaging in dialogue for several long minutes. Maybe that's a drama, and this, to be sure, is certainly no drama movie. So much happens in this movie, which seems to make it so interesting, and a rush. What some people spend their entire lives doing or could take more than one lifetime doing -- weeding out corruption and social rot in a city/town, seems to get accomplished in the span of a couple months. Also in that time-frame Chris wins a small election (details of which aren't shown) which turns in to a good job and gets back with his former girlfriend. Does life happen this quickly for some people, especially somebody who was away for eight years? In "Walking Tall", it did.

Dark Jedi There is absolutely nothing special about this movie. It is average all the way. It is however a decent enough off-the-shelf action flick which fulfills its purpose. That is to provide an hour and a half of decent entertainment.Our hero comes back from being away for quite a while and finds the bad guys are in control. A pretty classical story which have been used since the first movies were made (and even before that). The movie can easily be said to be a modern day Western movie as far as the story goes.Our hero, Dwayne Johnson, is doing a decent job of being a hero. The actions scenes, which is really why you are watching this movie after all, are reasonably well done. Of course they are more of TV-movie quality than anything else but good enough in the context of this movie.The movie plays out more or less exactly as you would expect. Hero comes home, find bad guys in control, gets into shuffle with bad guys, bad guys tries to take on hero via family and friends, fails, hero goes after main bad guy in a long chase/fight, happy ending, roll after texts. As I wrote, it could just as well have been an old Western movie. The traditional western saloon is replaced by a casino and the whiskey and cattle is replaced with crooked gambling and some modern drug dealing.The one part I though was silly, as in bad silly, was the trial in the first half of the movie. Warning, spoiler ahead! I mean, come on. Hero demolishes Casino and gets put on trial, hero shows jury his scars and asks to get a non-guilty verdict, jury happily obliges him. What the f…? Apart from this the movie completed its mission of knocking and hour and a half off my life while keeping me from being bored in front of the TV.

Siddhanth Rau Well the story line of the movie is pretty simple, its about an army guy who comes back to his town after 8 years and he finds that things have changed and the town has gotten into the hands of bad people and he fights to get the town back like before.the movie runs for around 75 mins(without taking end credits into account), this clearly shows that there is not much of a story involved in the movie & there are no unwanted scenes which are not part of the movie either, the screenplay of the movie is pretty compact it concentrates only on one thing which is the basic plot of the movie and this makes the movie interesting and not boring.my advice for those who want to enjoy this movie is that to watch this movie without any high expectations.
