The film is comprised of four violent action scenes tied together by nearly 50 minutes of alternately hilarious (unintentionally, of course) and dull filler.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
Walking Tall actually underserves its star, who is better than schlocky material like this would lead you to believe.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten
One mediocre, ploddingly predictable film, loaded down with cheesy Hollywood tactics.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
This revised Walking Tall has only kinetic energy going for it.
