Critics' reviews
  • "On one hand, it's an ultraviolent revenge fantasy, and on the other hand, it's a masterpiece of over-the-top unintentional hilarity"
  • "'Walking Tall' grabs you where trash and violence invariably do, with excellent performers, shrewd plotting and pacing."
  • "It's an interesting example of how a stock Western plot can assume some fairly explicit political ramifications once it is transposed to a modern setting (not that that is any recommendation)."
  • "This rabble-rousing movie appeals to a deep-seated belief in simple, swift, Biblical justice; the visceral impact of the film makes one know how crowds must feel when they're being swayed by demagogues."
  • "Like it or not, 'Walking tall' is saying something very important to many people, and it is saying it with accomplished artistry."
