It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

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.

I really enjoyed this movie from start to finish.I really liked the flow of the movie, as it had a story to it with a bit of background on why Nick and his dad hadn't spoken in so long.AJ Buckley was great as a bad guy, so much so I really wanted to hit him so many times cause he was just that bad, he played it so well.Jennifer Sipes although her roles were small she did a great performance, especially the scene after she is assaulted by the bad guys, you could feel her pain, and even though she wasn't saying anything it was all in her face and eyes.Kevin Sorbo is amazing as ever, his eyes just conveyed the emotion that he was feeling as Nick and had me drawn to the screen every time.All in all I really liked the movie and can't wait for the next one.Julia

I thought this follow-on to the Walking Tall series was well done. The movie was permeated by good actors doing a great job. As a boy I lived in Texas for about three years in a small town called Ozona, Texas and the movie all most took me back to those days to that small town where boys over 8 were trying a "chew" and the local dinner and barber shop made you feel like you were home. You know when I watch a movie I'm always looking for new talent that I have not seen before. The waitress (Krystal) did a wonderful job, but I've not seen her before and hope to see her again. She's obviously attractive, and this Yellow Rose did West Texas proud. In addition I'm so glad that Kevin ditched the 2x4 and came at his part in his own unique way. Great Job!!
