Summary: kool picture
Review: Almost 5 stars. Complete action movie here before your eyes.
However, If I tumbled down a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ like they did, I don't think I would be able to walk away.
There is comedy intertwined with the drama in this motion picture that is heavy on the action side.The "Rock" is a must see ladies and gentleman.

Summary: 1 star for the script; 5 stars for The Rock
Review: If the producers had kept the rest of this movie as good as the introduction, it would have been an amazing feature. The opening was as good as it gets. Unfortunatelly, the producers, always way behind the audience, decided to keep the movie stupid until the end. Because of that, it was far too long. The stupidity never ended and at one point it also included a bagpiper at the beginning of the last confrontation. And the incredible stupid jokes! Why, oh Lord, why? But The Rock shines. He is amazing and the future belongs to him... if he manages to get decent scripts. However, we seem to be doomed to a perennial PG-13 rating in most of the action films currently produced. Sooner or later some people in Hollywood will become aware of an anstonishing fact: not everyone in this country is a teenager.

Summary: SURPRISINGLY GOOD ACTION FILM
Review: Typically, pro wrestlers have not enjoyed a great deal of success in their acting careers, usually being typecast in dumb, tough guy roles. The Rock makes his second starring appearance and does very well. He plays Beck, a combination bounty hunter and rep man who works for the mob. In a great opening sequence, he visits a night club to collect on a gambling debt owed by a pro football player. When the player doesn't have the money, Beck says he will take his super bowl ring as collateral. Of course, to get it, Beck has to go through the Clubs bouncers and the teams Offensive linemen to collect in a well done action sequence. Beck seems to be in debt to this mobster and agrees to one last job to clear his slate and open his restaurant. He has to go to Brazil and bring back the mobsters son (play by Seann William Scott) from the Amazon jungle. Unfortuantely it's not that simple. Seems another American named Hatcher (played by Christopher Walken) has built a small village and is using the villagers as slave labor to work in his goldmine. What's more Travis (the son) knows where to find a valuable artifact that Hatcher wants so he won't let him leave. Beck and Travis escape Hatchers goons but then get lost in the jungle wherein they encounter traps, fierce monkeys, and rebel soldiers. The movie does a grat job of mixing action and humor and the two stars really ahd good chemistry together. The Rock seemed very polished and at ease in only his second starring role. Good popcorn movie.

Summary: Not the next Roddy Piper!
Review: Duane Johnson, aka The Rock, proves his popularity is no fluke with this movie, an enjoyable action romp that is greater than the sum of its parts. Johnson proves he's leading man material and is supported by energetic performances from Seann William Scott and the loopy Christopher Walken. Rosario Dawson, however, is wasted as little more than eye candy thanks to a flimsy plot that nibbles liberally from a half-dozen others without ever taking a serious bite. The fight scenes are well-choreographed and feature an impressive take on the now requisite wire-work, with Ernie Reyes, Jr. really standing out in his big scene. As fun, harmless action movies go, this one's a winner. The extras, particularly Walken's behind the scenes segment, are well-produced, too.

Summary: Replay value is great!
Review: I recently bought the Rundown and I have been enjoying it ever since. The story is not too unique but it sure is exciting. Sometimes the old formula works well. Basically a bounty hunter named Beck is sent out to bring back the bossman's son. This bounty hunter is an aspiring chef. Now the chef part adds a new dimension to the character. The rest of the movie is a journey with Beck to bring back the biggest brathead treasure hunter on the planet. This guy even gets Beck beat half to death. It's funny and action packed! Seann William Scott proves to have good chemisty and physicality for action films not just American Pie gross out comedies.
Of course, Christoper Walken adds a flavor that only he could add to this movie making it even more fun to watch! I would suggest this film for anyone who wants to have a good time packed with a punch! And just try and stop watching this film over and over again. I'm telling you the replay value is great!

Summary: aka Welcome to the Jungle (Aust-NZ)
Review: A silly action movie about a bounty hunter(Rock) paid by a rich father to go to the Amazon jungle and hunt down and return his warward son (Seann William Scott)home to America.
Arriving at his destination, The Rock finds out more about the sitiation of the people his quarry is associated with - an over egoed Gold Miner (Christopher Wallken) exploiting the local population.
Eager not to return, Scott soon sends them both on a wild chase through the jungle with an ultimate mission to retrive and artifact that will bring peace to the region. Rosario Dawson plays a bar owner and part time reble leader that Scott uses to glean information out of except she uses him in turn... Still, as a movie, not much base and really just to show The Rock's physical strength. The info button will reveil quite a bit of information though. Still three stars is being generous for this action flick.

Summary: Very Good Action Movie...
Review: This is The Rock's real first breakthrough action picture. There is a great moment early on when the torch is symbolically passed on from a different action hero. What is astonishing about The Rundown is how visually interesting it is. This is surprising because it is directed by the actor Peter Berg, who was the male lead in The Last Seduction. He comes up with a lot of interesting techniques and special effects, which is important in the action genre because we've seen it all before. As an actor, Berg seems to have an intuitive sense of how to get good performances out of people - in this case, The Rock. He comes off sufficiently charming and heroic in this movie, if somewhat rough around the edges. He is also allowed to play some of the gags for laughs. Christopher Walken turns what could be a forgettable villain into an interesting part. Sean William Scott is as good as always - he is well on his way to becoming a great romantic/comedic leading man. The Rundown may not win any Oscars, but it certainly makes for a fun rental.

Summary: Option A: You love this movie, Option B: I make you love it!
Review: What can I say about this movie? It is just soooooooooo good! It was entertaining, fun, exciting, and action packed! Of course, who could not like the Rock?
The movie is about Beck(the Rock) who goes after his bosses son(Beck is a police officer of some sort)who is trying to find an extremely rare relic in the Amazon jungle. There are many more subplots(i won't tell you though) but that is the main plot. Easy huh?
With excellent action, excitment, and comady, I HIGHLY recommend this movie! (PG-13:Action violence, and some crude dialogue)

Summary: Best Action Movie of the Last 5 Years
Review: I haven't had this much fun at an action movie since the Schwarzenneger heydays of the mid- to late-1980s. This movie has talent, humor, heart, and action galore. The Rock is a surprisingly capable actor who plays a very powerful (yet sympathetic) "retrieval expert" and wannabe-chef. In this generation, the Rock has no peer as an action star. Christopher Walken is, as always, the perfect villain (he steals ever scene that he's in), and Sean Willian Scott (better known as "Stifler" from American Pie) plays a humorous sidekick who manages comic relief without being annoying. Rosario Dawson rounds out the cast as a shockingly beautiful and steel-spined heroine: a strong and capable woman rather than a damnsel in distress. The scenery is beautiful, the action sequences are remarkably good (more enjoyable than Matrix, as far as I'm concerned), and the cast has a great time working with a fun storyline. From bagpipe-toting Irishmen and voracious baboons to expert whip-masters and Inca traps, you can't ask for more in an action flick. Why this movie didn't make a bigger splash than it did is a mystery to me. This is EXACTLY what action movies should always aspire to be. I actually cheered at several points!

Summary: Indiana Jones meets Midnight Run
Review: Well, I for one was pleasantly surprised by this action/adventure flick. Truth be told I like Seann William Scott, Christopher Walken, Ewen Bremner, and Rosario Dawson, who all have roles, but it was The Rock (the films main character), who is surprisingly charming and amusing and - lest I forget - the action star and highlight of this film. Sure, if you were already a fan of his pro wrestling star status, you would buy this DVD anyway, but I only knew him from the recent The Mummy movies, where I wasn't overly impressed with his CGI-assisted Scorpion King character. So really, it was kind of a first meeting for us. The plot is fairly straightforward: Beck (the Rock) has to find Travis in the Amazon jungles and return him to Los Angeles. It¡¯s like the late 80¡¯s DeNiro movie Midnight Run in this way. Given that it takes place in the Amazon and Travis is seeking an ancient treasure, it also plays a bit like an Indiana Jones instalment. Christopher Walken plays a bad guy again ¨C no surprise there, and he seems to relish the lines he¡¯s been given. Seann William Scott buffed up for this role, but he retains his smart-ass humour from the American Pie movies, which he is most known for. Rosario Dawson is probably one of the better up-and-comer actresses, and though she looks great and acts well in this, I really was annoyed by her awful attempt at the Brazilian Portuguese accent - sounding a bit Russian, Jamaican, German etc at times. But I¡¯m nitpicking here, right? Ewen Bremner (best known from Trainspotting) is on the other side of the spectrum being (intentionally) fairly difficult to understand with his thick Scottish accent.
Last but not least, The Rock is just oh-so cool and yet he plays his role straight and ¡®real¡¯. Despite the ¡°Rock¡± name, you don¡¯t feel like you¡¯re watching the typical action star (Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Vin Diesel), who is always posing or looking mean with squinty eyes. Rock actually acts a lot more natural than most actors in general; in the DVD commentary he's modest, amusingly self-deprecating, and seems at ease with himself, and those are qualities that are rare in Hollywood, let alone most people you meet. Director Peter Berg¡¯s commentary is only bearable because he has Rock to play against. Berg also oozes a bit too much for Rosario Dawson at times. It¡¯s almost embarrassing to listen to. Harry Gregson-Williams, who is director Tony Scott¡¯s loyal composer, does the score for The Rundown and it is indeed great, mixing the right amount of energy into what¡¯s required to pace an action movie, but also adding lots of flavour appropriate with the Amazon/Brazil reference. There are the usual plot holes and at times weird and typically American kind of humour attached to violence (¡°you tried to shoot me¡± ha, ha, ha) as well as the predictable kind of action movie: will-you-choose-to-free-the-slaves-or-get-rich? life altering decisions to make¡like we can¡¯t guess the ending. The running joke ¡°Option A, Option B¡± is also used one too many times for my liking. However, for an action/adventure movie, The Rundown is really funny and mostly well-acted. It also sounds and looks good ¨C visually ¨C and most of the effects and stunts are fun to see. The DVD extras aren't exhaustive, but The Rock and cast look like they had fun on the shoot. I¡¯ve watched this DVD a few times now, and it just feels like a different take on a common theme, and a lot of that comes down to the play between the Beck and Travis characters (Rock & Sean). Good fun.
