I suppose movies like this are a living for Baker, but if he wants to put together any kind of career he should choose more carefully. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Mar 12, 2025

It's an entertaining picture, but it's not especially strong from any type of dramatic standpoint, built as more of a blunt instrument than sophisticated thriller. Go to Full Review Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) May 9, 2023
A bloody bad movie. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Sep 18, 2012

A gambler and night club owner goes to prison where card games are surprisingly lucrative. Title is a bit misleading, Baker does kill a policeman resisting arrest even if he was innocent of that charge. See more Mar 28, 2011 Makers of WALKING TALL show there's still plenty left in the tank. Joe Don comes through with another towering performance, not a guy you want to mess with. Baker physically assaults a lot of people, including several prison guards while incarcerated. See more Aug 29, 2010 The makers of Walking Tall reunite for this.
