What happens

Walking Tall: The Payback is a 2007 American action-thriller film, released direct-to-video as a stand-alone sequel to the 2004 film Walking Tall. Directed by Tripp Reed, it stars Kevin Sorbo, A.J. Buckley, Haley Ramm, Bentley Mitchum, Jennifer Sipes, Brad Leland, Charles Baker and Marc Macaulay. The film has a western theme with country and western music used in its score, representing a cliché story from western movies in a modern setting. Its main character's name is Nick Prescott, unlike the original's Buford Pusser or the remake's Chris Vaughn. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
