One mediocre, ploddingly predictable film, loaded down with cheesy Hollywood tactics.

Walking Tall actually underserves its star, who is better than schlocky material like this would lead you to believe.

rotten:
The film is comprised of four violent action scenes tied together by nearly 50 minutes of alternately hilarious (unintentionally, of course) and dull filler.
