-Walking Tall spielte am ersten Weekend in den USA $15,3 Millionen ein,am ersten Tag waren es noch $5,54 Millionen.Damit landete Walking Tall auf dem 2 Platz.Walking Tall erhielt ueberwiegend schlechte kritiken in den Medien.Robert Ebert von der Chicago Sun schrieb ua dazu:
"The Rock comes out of the movie more or less intact, career wise. I've felt from the beginning that he had the makings of a movie star, and I still think so; he has a kind of inner quiet that allows him to inhabit preposterous scenes without being overwhelmed by them. His acting style is flat and uninflected, authoritative without pushing it; he's a little like John Wayne that way. Also like Wayne, he's a big, physically intimidating man who is able to suggest a certain gentleness; he's not inflame, not looking for a fight, not shoving people around, but simply trying to right wrongs. I seriously doubt that he could play a convincing villain. Not even with a name tag."
