The Rock plays Chris Vaughn a retired US Special Forces Soldier who has returned home to set up a new life for himself. Yet when he returns home he finds the place he left behind is now a dilapidated crime riddled shell with his old school friend, Hamilton now running the show. Together with a mate (Johnny Knoxville), Chris Vaughn decides to take a stand against the drug dealers and take back his old town!
This movie is only about 1hour & 10min long (makes a refreshing change to the 2hr long movies which keep coming out) but saying that, that's really all you need. The film moves at a great pace with the action heating up in the first 15 minutes and doesn't let up until the very end. Each fight scene is amazingly played out using the good old fashion methods, none of this defying gravity just a large plank of wood and some hard raw punching.
This is a great honest movie, its not trying to be anything special. So just sit back, watch and enjoy a thoroughly good film!

This is a bare bones Blu Ray release unfortunately. Compared to the DVD Collectors Edition this really isn't worth the upgrade unless your just a fan of picture clarity and sound.
The only extra given on the Blu Ray release is the Feature Trailer.
Still it's a great little movie with plenty of action and some 'ohhhh thats gotta hurt' moments so it gets 4 stars from me.
PS. I don't generally review the movie itself as you have IMDB for that, I just like to inform people of what extras are or aren't in addition to a previous release.
Enjoy.

I saw this on Sky Box Office recently and it's a great movie, probably the best I've seen the Rock in. It's based on real events, so the action is kept quite realistic, with a fairly short finale with the big bad guy at the end highlighting the fact. The Rock and Knoxville pull off good performances and it's a well edited and paced movie. However, it's seems really short and I think clocked in just over an hour, though I hope the extras make up for that. Definitley worth a rent first, but WWF/WWE/ The Rock fans won't be dissapointed.

It's exactly what you expect.
Look if you want Thespians then you go for a Branagh film,if you want a punch up with lots of action then you go for a film like this. Read more

The Buford Pusser story gets a Rock make over.
Since old age and politics sent the last wave of action heroes to the memory bank, tho Stallone manfully keeps trying to resurrect a comeback each year, there's been a massive hole... Read more

Not at all bad - a nice surprise
I was a little hesitant at watching this 'inspired' by a true story tale, as although The Rock has a great deal of charm and charisma, it had the potential to be preachy and dull. Read more
