      jennifer l Horrible quality ( no boom mics). I tried to get through this on a 4k tv but it's awful. Bad acting. Walking Talls 1-3 are better movies. I've always wanted to see this and wow it's bad. It's surprising Forest Tucker is in it. Where are Leif and Dawn? Bruce Glover? They didn't want anything to do with this mess? The guy that played Lutie in the first movie plays Grady. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Ken R A Real American Hero - An Insult to the Original This cheap TV movie badly exploits the success of ‘Walking Tall'. Trying to imitate the dramatic original with a badly written script - filled with shallow situations and bland rip-off characters. Brian Dennehy does a good job as Sheriff Bufford Pusser but the trite script lets him and some of his above-average support cast down badly. The Flashback DVD is taken from a VHS tape with soft focus and some tape drop-outs. One for the easily pleased or to be avoided. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/20/21 Full Review Audience Member ZZZZZZZZZZZ....I love Brian Dennehy but still zzzzzzzzzzz. He is the only good thing about any of this tv movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I would say this movie is worth seeing. It reminds me of the type of movie that you could catch on cable any night of the week; not worth paying more than say a dollar for at any rate. Brian Dennehy is pretty good. There are some acting gaffes but the thing comes together OK by the end. It does have some sad parts. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Well meaning but flat telling of Buford Pusser, the hero sheriff that have spawned quite a few movies. The acting is fair, it just isn't very involving. It was made for network television and it shows. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
