Walking Tall: The Payback (2007)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

the audience applauded

Absolutely Fantastic

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

wow this one was pretty bad,, i mean it wasn't the worst i've ever seen probalby 20 worse than this,, but it's very low on my chart, this movies does such a disservice to the character of Bufford Pusser, Kevin Sorbo, where did they find this guy,, Dwayne Johnson,, the Rock was way better and at least in that movie they kept to the original storyline as much as possible, this on veers off into so many directions, i just don't get it,, problem with Hollywood, one movie is a success so they gotta make more, i mean enough is enough, they should have got a better actor,, seagal , stallone, statham,, i was thoroughly disappointed with this one, and wish i never would have bought it.

The opening scenes gave hope... but those hopes were soon diminished. The explosion at the gas station made you believe that this would be packed with the action expected to carry such a lame script. It also appeared that there were multiple crews working on the set because there was a clear difference in the film quality between scenes. Some were very clear and framed well while others were 'over cranked' and too soft. Shooting night for day is so obvious and such a bad idea that it distracted from the scene many times. A.J. Buckley is the only reason to sit through this disaster. He was awesome! Sorbos stunt double for the horse riding scene was so obviously shorter and fatter with a terrible wig on that it made me laugh. The final scene was nice...lot's of really good explosions and good action but that wasn't enough to make you not regret wasting a coupon on this rental.

Sure this isn't the 50 million dollar Rock version but for a low budget DVD this is a solid rental. I liked that most of the cast were unknowns, it gave the film authenticity. There isn't a ton of action but there are some genuinely tense moments. I haven't seen Kevin Sorbo in much besides Hercules and I was pleasantly surprised how convincing he was in this film. The bad guy, AJ Buckley is nasty and has some great moments. You really hate him and want Sorbo to kick his ass. Overall I thought it was a good underdog story that's very entertaining. Rent it.

As for user pitorican95, they have no clue what they are talking about. I saw the screener on this movie in late October. The movie was an actual stunner. I enjoyed the story line far more than the Rock version. AJ Buckley does a wonderful job as the bad guy. You hate him all the way.The acting was not bad at all. Most of the supporting cast did a wonderful job. This movie does not have as much action in it as the first movie. However, it has lots of action. Buckley is evil as can be and really plays into the storyline. Sorbo does a descent job as the main character, but the script makes the movie flow well.There is a "21 grams" cinematography style rape seen with Jennifer Sipes that really grips you into how horrible the villains are. It definitely tests your emotions. On that note, you wished the writers developed her character more.All in all, I sat down to watch this movie with low expectations, and came out loving the movie. You can easily get into the movie. It is a must rent/buy DVD.
