Walking Tall Review

Junior & Senior guys Bible study night to just hang out. We plan those about every six weeks or so and this particular night they chose to go see the remake of Walking Tall...starring former professional wrestler called "The Rock."

Stuff blew up, notably a truck, which really pushed The Rock over the edge to get revenge.
There was a girl in lingerie that helped get the PG-13 rating, and no one asked if there was some sort of law against having a strip club inside a casino.
There were lots of one-liners, like: "Inside this casino, the boobs are fake and the a$$holes are real."
Johnny Knoxville of Jacka$$ fame provided the comic relief. I don't think he acted.
There was a courtroom scene in which The Rock fired his small town lawyer, defended himself, and won his case despite the prosecution's objections and being held in contempt of court. He also announced he was running for Sheriff in that moment. Surprisingly, against all odds, he was elected.
Lots of gunplay. The girl stayed in her bra while brandishing a pistol going up against guys with machine guns. She wasn't much help in the battle.
The Rock was able to defeat the evil casino owner who was dabbling on the side as a small town manufacturer of crystal meth. I hope I didn't give too much away.

It was the perfect movie for high school guys, and we all had a blast. Take from that what you will.
