Interesting

I have seen the other movies of Walking Tall and Sorbo can hold his own. I really liked it. It was hard for me to find here in Canada so of course had to wait to see it, was a bit skeptical at first, but just goes to show that a film can take on different actors and still have the same flare the original movie had. Good Job. October 21, 2008

In-name-only sequel

This supposed sequel to 2004's "Walking Tall" and 2007's "Walking Tall: The Payback" (which is effectively yet another remake of "Walking Tall") bears little resemblance to either of its predecessors. The plot centres around Nick (Kevin Sorbo), a former small-town sherriff who has moved to Dallas to be with his cop girlfriend, who is about to testify against the head of a drug syndicate. However, when Nick's girlfriend is shot, Nick takes justice into his own hands.

"Walking Tall: Lone Justice" is nowhere near as fun as "Walking Tall" (the one starring The Rock), and typical of straight-to-DVD movies, stars a lot of actors whom you have probably never heard of (with the exception of Sorbo, star of "Hercules: the Legendary Journeys"). Furthermore, some of the camera shots are weird and jumpy, which makes me suspect that the director started his career by making music videos. Nevertheless, for a straight-to-DVD movie, it's not too bad, and although not a great actor, Sorbo is likeable enough to make the film work.

Walking Tall - Lone Justice

Very good movie. I like it when trail in a court of humans cannot be held because the true criminal scum have been sent the final court before the LORD. Kevin Sorbo is definately growing as an actor. But will forever be a "B" movie guy. February 8, 2008

Good Sequel

Solid acting and a good story line made this a great, entertaining, movie. It had more action than the Walking Tall: The Payback (which I also greatly enjoyed). Sam did act like a spoiled brat and I wanted to slap her silly a few times, but she did pretty much act like a typical teenager. I had a few other nit picks, but nothing big enough to diminsh my enjoyment movie. November 2, 2007

Action Packed and Sorbo was great as Always

Kevin Sorbo was great as always. The movie was action packed. Not a deep plot or anything, but Sorbo did a great job as usual. He really gave the movie some depth. As a woman I didn't like all the violence, but my husband and boys liked it. October 27, 2007
