Walking Tall (2004)

Walking Tall (2004) The hard-boiled former U.S. Special Forces veteran and decorated sergeant, Chris Vaughn, is in for a rude awakening, as his peaceful hometown has changed radically. With the old cedar mill gone out of business for good–and a garish gambling house opened instead, promoting drugs and violence thanks to his old high-school nemesis, Jay Hamilton–Chris will have no other choice but to take matters into his own hands as the town’s new sheriff. Now, Jay’s murderous henchmen have no place to hide–and with a primitive and lethally efficient four-by-four fence post as his weapon of choice–Chris is determined to clean up the vice and the corruption in his beloved birthplace. Who will dare to stop Chris, the furious one-man-army? ??Nick RiganasAwards: 2 nominationsBudget: $46,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $57,223,890Soundtrack: Midnight Rider (Written by Gregg Allman and Robert Payne (as Robert Kim Payne))
