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.
