Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A routine showcase, modest in its aspiration and effective within its limits, entertaining in the moment but, in the end, faintly silly.
Rotten: Has none of the social edge that made the Vietnam-era film the pride of the hixploitation genre.
Rotten: One mediocre, ploddingly predictable film, loaded down with cheesy Hollywood tactics.
Rotten: Walking Tall actually underserves its star, who is better than schlocky material like this would lead you to believe.
Customer Reviews
Good Movie - Sadly based upon a true story.
The Rock Shines in this family movie, bringing back good to a town overrun with drugs, gambling, and wrongdoing. Sadly based upon a true story you can look up on wikipedia, the movie is dedicated to the memory of Buford Pusser, a law officer who experienced a similar situation - but worse. Take a bite out of crime, hit 'em with The Rock ! Rent it tonight.
really good movie
