Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
namashi_1 Kevin Sorbo is Great in 'Walking Tall: The Payback'. The Well-Known Star kicks-butt & plays his part stylishly. As a film, however, this sequel has some merits.'Walking Tall: The Payback' Synopsis: A man goes back to his hometown that is now overrun with crime and single-handedly takes justice into his own hands.'Walking Tall: The Payback' is strictly time-pass entertainment. Its meant for a certain audience, and that section of audience, won't be disappointed. But, I must admit, I enjoyed The Rock's 'Walking Tall' much more.Tripp Reed's Direction is ordinary. The Screenplay offers some good moments. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are fine.On the whole, A Decent Flick, with a Stylish performance by Kevin Sorbo.
Siloty i hired this movie when i found out Kevin Sorbo was in it and only remembered him from the legend of hercules TV series. i watched this and i found this one to be better than The Rock's one.the movie isn't just a hack slash seeking revenge movie, has its fair share of drammatical points as well.i found the movie had a much stronger storyline to it and way better acting. Kevin Sorbo is a very good actor and does a great job. another upside of this movie is the use of not very big actors, which i find ads to the plus side of this movie. A.J Buckley did extremely well as the bad guy in this movie.i found this better in everyway. you cannot go wrong with this.
Relaets Very simply - if you liked the first, you should like this one, it's got more violence, more vulgarity, more plot, and more Kevin Sorbo - to put it another way, it's just way better.In relation to the first movie - Kevin Sorbo seems like a much more down-to-earth, everyday hero, not a cartoonish superhero; A.J. Buckley is a more down-to-earth, everyday villain, not a cartoonish supervillain. The motive for revenge is better and more believable, a bit more than someone sold drugs to a kid. Sorbo (and everyone else) has more experience acting than The Rock (not that I don't like The Rock), and it shows.There are a lot of negative reviews for this movie but for the life of me I don't know why. Ignore them, take this simple advice - if you liked the first movie, watch this. If you liked Payback, watch this. If you liked The Brave One, watch this. If you like revenge movies, watch this. If you like Kevin Sorbo, watch this. If none of those apply, skip this movie, and spare it another unfair negative review.
StuntsForFilm 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.
