Walking Tall
Stream
Rent & Buy
A former U.S. soldier returns to his hometown to find it overrun by crime and corruption, which prompts him to clean house.
What critics thought
Critics largely dismissed Walking Tall as a thin, formulaic action vehicle — competent enough in its brawling set pieces but too shallow to amount to much beyond them. The Rock's screen presence earned grudging respect, but reviewers felt the film coasted entirely on his physicality rather than offering anything more substantial. Audiences warmed to it considerably more than critics did.
