Walking Tall has no more fat on it than the Rock himself, a hulking yet curiously ingratiating presence who seems the most likely candidate to replace Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as America's favorite living comic book character.Read the full review
One mediocre, ploddingly predictable film, loaded down with cheesy Hollywood tactics.Read the full review
Instead of generating a testosterone rush, the fight scenes release tryptophan. Not only are they boring, but they are choreographed in an amateurish fashion.Read the full review
The movie itself is neither a catastrophe nor major.Read the full review

To its credit, the new Walking Tall is a good half-hour shorter than its predecessor, but even at 86 minutes, sitting through it is a chore.Read the full review
