Rock gonna Rock!

Pretty dumb movie set in a backwoods town, but Neil McDonough as a sassy bad guy? Rock beating people with bare hands and cedar? Sign me up!

Knoxville was a bit of a letdown though, not a fan of his.

I also gave myself kudos points for instantly realizing that the "hot girl in the Porsche" was none other than Cobie Smulders. Her first film appearance, and pre-HIMYM.

Da Rock.

Dwayne Johnson's a pretty cool guy.

This film had the amazing ability to have nothing happen at the same time as lots happening. I don't know how they pulled it off.
Trundled along at an average pace. At least there was no "filler". Just wasn't much to talk about.

Before last night, never really saw this film in its entirety and from what little I had seen playing on TV, I had thought that it would be bad. That is not the case though and even though the critics had slammed the film, I found it to be quite an entertaining action flick and till date the best performance from Dwayne The Rock Johnson and it shows that the guy can act.

The Rock hits people, occasionally with a 2x4. What's not to like?

I didn't know this went under a different name, I know it as 'Walking Tall'.
I've seen it a few times, but this is the first time I watched it with Audio-Commentary from The Rock, the commentary is often quite generic, but you can hear that he is chilling out and having a laugh, its fun and he seems like such a genuinely nice guy.
This is based on a true story, which is quite shocking thinking about, but also very heroic as he takes back his town kicking all sorts of ass.

Really tall

I don't think a lot of people would say this movie is "good" but I really enjoy it. I think you have to like The Rock to tolerate a half baked action movie like this though.

This is my kind of action film. A former wrestler with no business on the big screen taking names and whooping some bald-headed double-studded candy ass. The Rock and Knoxville have great chemistry, who did pretty well for themselves as two men who forced their way onto the scene from their own projects, i would have watched a whole series with them. This is a simple fun film, it's shallow and there's not much else here, but it's that.

My mom and aunt are watching this...it's just background noise for me.

BUT JOHNNY KNOXVILLE, YOU BEAUTIFUL MAN.

the true heir to the 80's action is the ROCK. the story is retarded but the rock has enough charisma to keep the movie together and i love the fact that it is so straight forward and completely skips things that would otherwise slow down the movie (ignoring the voting for a town sheriff)...
