Walking Tall (2004)
7/10
Good choice for heroic entertainment action.
30 June 2005
OK, in my opinion these kind of action movies should not be criticize with an artistic approach. So if we are agree that, sometimes we need to see these kind of heroic action movies, for entertainment and chill out, this movie hits the bulls eye..

I got to admit that, The Rock just fits in the movie. He got everything and more to be a known, demanded actor (like Vin diesel) for these kind of movies. He is a real character actor, and so comfortable in front of the cameras. Actually too comfortable, he could have been a little more passionate. Johnny Knoxville's performance is great. I really enjoyed watching him.

Movie and the story is powerful too. As you know, the story is coming from a local hero Sheriff Bufford Pussers real life, who fought and beat the organized crime in his county at late 1960s...

Many people wrote that the movie is short. I think it is great that this movie was short, because otherwise it would be boring. 80 minutes is a nice time to see the action. Watch it, enjoy it, forget it.
