Not a sequel, per se, to the 2004 feature Walking Tall with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (which in itself was only loosely based on the real-life story of Southern lawman Buford Pusser), this by-the-books actioner stars Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys) as another taciturn tough guy who faces down small-town corruption with determination and a very big stick. Sorbo plays a former elite soldier who returns to his small Texas hometown to discover that his sheriff father has been murdered by a cadre of nefarious types (led by tattooed heel A.J. Buckley), and with the help of a comely FBI agent (Yvette Nipar), he takes up his father's badge and takes on the bad guy with a particularly large piece of hickory as his main weapon. Sorbo is a likely action star, though he lacks the charm of The Rock (or the downhome grit of Joe Don Baker and Bo Svenson, who played Pusser in the '70s feature and its sequels), and the story is doggedly formulaic in its march to a showdown conclusion. The action, however, is plentiful, and should provide a passing distraction for viewers seeking some testosterone-heavy thrills. -- Paul Gaita

Product Description
Kevin Sorbo stars as Nick Prescott in this action-packed sequel to the hit film, Walking Tall, as the son of a small town sheriff who returns to home to discover the place in which he grew up is now overrun with crime, drugs and violence. A group of ruthless criminals is purchasing real estate using strong-arm tactics. With the cooperation of corrupt local county policemen, they have been pilfering gas from local gas stations, leaving a trail of destruction behind. When Nick's father, in an effort to stop the criminals, is ruthlessly killed, Nick enlists the help of an FBI agent in an effort to seek out justice and revenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars not too shabby, February 20, 2007

By	Kyle (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

If you are like me and will give most DTV a chance, then this is one you should not look away from.

As we all know most DTV have crappy acting, production ect... Now Walking Tall 2 is different. The actors do a good job in their roles. Kevin Sorbo is great as a guy who beleives in GOOD. I was very impressed. HE look liked he had fun in doing this movie and was actually interested in making you beleive he was upset. All of the other actors/actresses were also good too. I must say the main bad guy was excellent. I could not wait until he got hurt. Horrible thing to say, but he deserved it.

Story is that Nick(sorbo) is doing his own thing and when he learns that his dad was in a *accident* he becomes the sherrif of his old town and thigs change for the better, You know have a man who will stand up for his people and the ones he loves. The story is simple-> good guy wants to crush bad guy. Simple yes, but boring NO.

What I liked about this movie is that they didnt use any stock footage( worst thing you could do to a movie besides voice dubbing). They did their own fights and the explosions were real. Walking Tall 2 was violent which was good because it seemed more beleivable. There was some horrible things that this bad guy did to the towns people. I was happy to see a movie that probably didnt have a big budget, but still made the production feel like they had more to work with and they did a great job. Sure there was some boring parts, but what movie does'nt have them? If your looking for a good movie with a bad guy to get his butt kicked, then Walking Tall 2 is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than expected, Kevin Sorbo did well, good story., April 19, 2007

By	Wiseguy 945 (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I enjoyed the first Walking tall, Starting the rock in a story of one man's quest to turn around his small hometown that had been overun with crime and drugs. This movie is based in Boone texas, and Kevin sorbo plays the son of the long time county sherrif, who county is having a bunch of trouble with recent crimes and "bad accidents" after his 30 years of relative peace on the job. Finally, after an explosion at one of the local gas sations, the sherrif uncovers something that leads him to suspect something big is going on. Unfortunatly for him, he became invovled in something bigger than him, and payed the ultimate price with his life. Well, His son (Kevin Sorbo) comes back to town to help his mom, and Do something about fixing his town. The movie takes off from there. Good action, Sorbo was a great fit for the role. Decent script, although some of the lines and acting can get cheesy, it decent for most action movies. And this does not let anybody down for action. Check it out, good follow up movie in the series, thankfully not billed as a sequel.
