Action thriller starring The Rock as Chris Vaughn, a recently-retired member of the US Army's Special Forces, who returns home to help run the family's once-prosperous small-town sawmill business. He soon realises that since he's been away the formerly sedate little town has become a veritable den of iniquity, thanks mainly to the various criminal activities of his old high school rival Jay Hamilton (Neal McDonough). Frustrated by the feeble attempts of the local law enforcement officers to take control of the situation, Vaughn enlists the help of his old pal Ray Templeton (Johnny Knoxville) and together the two men take matters into their own hands...
WALKING TALL, a remake based on the popular series of 1970s films by the same title, is all about The Rock. He is larger than life, buff, beautiful, and mad as hell--ready to fight a wave of corruption, gambling, and drugs that have infiltrated his hometown. He plays Chris Vaughn, a man who is returning to his family in Tennessee after serving in the military. But right off the bat, he can tell something is fishy. The lumber mill has closed down and now there are kids on the streets doing drugs. Chris confronts his high-school rival Jay (Neal McDonough), who replaced the honest lumber business with a highly illegal casino, and is almost killed for doing so. Chris reports Jay's dirty business to the cops, only to learn that even the sheriff is on Jay's payroll. The final straw comes when Chris' nephew overdoses on crystal meth bought at the casino, and Chris decides take Jay down vigilante-style, breaking all the rules and fighting for what is right. Massive brawls with The Rock at their center, toting a large 2 x 4 as his only weapon, provide for some highly destructive, very violent face-offs. Ray (Johnny Knoxville) stands by Chris' side, providing comic relief throughout the relentless fighting, and the blond and bronzed Kristen Wilson provides some risque allure as Chris' love interest. WALKING TALL offers a little something for any fan of The Rock.
