Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: I am a huge fan of The Rock and I just wanted to say that he is not the only good part to this movie. Along with Rocky's great acting skills, the stunts are amazing and the jokes are hilarious...Buy The Rundown!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: MUCH BETTER THAN YOU THINK
Review: On a treasure hunt in South America, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has charisma to spare in THE RUNDOWN. This inventive, visually striking, fast-paced action adventure delivers fun and thrills way beyond expectations. A buff Sean William Scott, pretty and feisty Rosario Dawson and dastardly Christopher Walkin co-star.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny with great action and a good cast
Review: I read a two star review for the Rundown where the critic says, "why is it called the Rundown ?, no one in it looks rundown. Um hello lol, Rundown doesn't just mean being exhausted it can mean being chased down and in this case that's what it means. The Rock's character Beck who's a repo-man is sent to South America to find his boss's son (Sean William Scott from American Pie fame). After he finds him and hits him around a bit the duo have no choice but to team up to in-order survive. Some rebels headed by the great Christopher Walken are after a price-less artifact and are willing to kill anyone that stands in there way. Beck wants to retire and become a chef but he has to survive his trip to South America first.

The Rock is charming, funny and dangerous at the same time as Beck. There's no doubt that he has a future in movies behind him. I heard he might get into politics but I hope he just sticks with Wrestling and Movies because that's what he does best. He works great with Sean William Scott and Rosario Dawson who both are good in their roles as well. Anyway the Rundown is an entertaining and often very funny movie. I mean in what other move are the 2 heros almost raped by a bunch of horny monkeys ? lol. It's some funny and original stuff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i have great fun. nicely done action-packed movie
Review: the rock is amazingly cool and never thought he could be so talented. there's no meaning to talk about what should be done better, what's the purpose of making this movie, just have fun is quite worth it. all the castings are pretty good, directing, editing, script, hawaiian settings for brailian jungle is seamlessly relocated. fine with me. really enjoyed. by the way, the filmcritic.com said some of the actors' teeth seems so white, i totally agree, and i just wish i could have those pure white teeth like those of the rock.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rock's Rundown a wondeful movie
Review: Rundown - This was an action movie which did not take iteself too seriously and as a result was very unpredictable and full of fun. One could clearly see that all the actors were enjoying themselves and also put in their best. The opening scenes were history in the making of sorts - where Arnie makes a brief appearance only to hand over the mantle of the Last Action Hero to Rock on his way out of the club with the comments "enjoy you stay". In his own unique way Arnie has made known the successor to his throne - Great. And Rock has shown he is worth it in the role of Beck.

It was the role of Christopher Walken though that I thought overshadowed everyone else's in the movie. His cool calculating presence with a menace lurking under the easy going facade. His lines - " Thats a lot of cows" and his crazy laughter before he anounces " shut down the town" are memorable and it makes you feel that you are watching a pro at work here. Great performance.

Sean William Scott was good in his usual way - Travis the Treasure ( Gaato ) hunter. Rosaria Dawson in the role of Mariana was very very good. She was like an anchor to the whole story. I have seen her for the first time and I am crazy about her already ( Will someone tell me if she has acted in any other movie? ).

All in all a wonderful movie where - Rock takes the Mantle, Walken takes the Limelight, Scott takes the Gaato and Dawson takes my heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DeWayne "Rock" Johnson is Cooking!!!!
Review: You people don't give DeWayne Johnson enough credit as an actor. The Rock is the most electrifying thing in sports entertainment and has made a smooth as butter transition into film. DeWayne Johnson will be in this for the long run since he has a presence that hasn't been seen in a long time. The fight scenes where great as well as the scene where they were dangling in the air and he when had to fight off a monkey that was funny. When they were blowing up the town it was a little long for my taste; but watching that man that is over 6' tall, ripped it tearing it up it was worth it. I can't wait to see the remake of Cool Hand Luke and also if it is being made the movie about King Kamehameha. You can even catch him doing a small bit part in the Longshot that came out in 2000. I'll be adding this to my collection of dvds of Dewayne "Rock" Johnson.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a great film, but very good. And fun.
Review: Director Peter Berg has crafted a well-paced action movie. Some clever choices, such as the "player stats" in the opening sequence, and some quick edits make the movie interesting to watch.

The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) becomes a movie star here. While his last effort, "The Scorpion King," suffered from a rehashed script, he stood out. This time, the script is ever-so-slightly better. But the charisma that Johnson brings to the role of Beck is what makes it work. He's obviously been working on his acting skills as well.

Christopher Walken makes the most of his latest bad guy role. He's played it a hundred times before, but he's always interesting to watch. As is Rosario Dawson, though she seems to have a little trouble keeping her accent in tact throughout the movie.

Overall, it's a fine summer movie that just got released in September instead of June. Unfortunately, they have replaced the great theatrical poster with some b-movie cover art for the DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: rock star movie
Review: This movie was the best iv'e seen. Especially that you have the rock in it. I'm a really big fan of him. Probably since i was 7 years old. I really love him alot. There was alot of action init. The best part is when the rock fights against this guy; he flew.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: By the numbers, but still great..
Review: The Rock is the next big action star, this film is proof of that prophecy. I paid to see this film at the theatre and I got my money's worth. The Rundown is funny, has some great action scenes and Christopher Walken as the villian (his "tooth fairy" speech is hilarious!).

What else could you ask for in a movie?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 'Rundown' A Grandiose Entertainment
Review: THis was the most entertaining film of the year. It's funny, fast paced, and the action is approprately breathtaking. Don't read anything about the plot. Just rent (or buy) it, watch it, and enjoy.

Completely worth the money.
