Product Information
The Rock (aka Duane Johnson) firmly establishes himself as a major Hollywood force in THE RUNDOWN, an engaging action-comedy directed by Peter Berg. Johnson/Rock plays Beck, a retriever-for-hire, who is sent on one final mission before he can retire and realize his dream of opening up a restaurant. Trading in the cement streets of Los Angeles for the jungles of the Amazon, Beck begins his quest to locate his boss' son, Travis (Seann William Scott). When he walks into the establishment of the beautiful Mariana (Rosario Dawson), he does just that. But before he can drag Travis back to the airstrip and deliver him to his father, the evil Hatcher (Christopher Walken) arrives and reminds Beck that this is his jurisdiction. Apparently, Travis is incredibly close to locating a rare relic, and until that happens, Hatcher isn't letting Travis out of his sight. Of course, Beck uses his talent for kicking butt to escape with Travis, but after their jeep tumbles off a mountain, they find themselves trapped in the jungle with Hatcher hot on their trail. Berg's film breathes with a lighthearted air that is truly refreshing for the action genre, while the relentlessly hilarious interplay between The Rock and Scott is a sight to behold.
Good action packed movie...funny at times. I really enjoyed this movie.
Came sealed played without any problems. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about these too in a movie together but it really worked well. And the chick from Clerks 2 is also in this.
i replaced two rundowns that both had the end scratched same spot one of my fav parts of this movie i got this movie ceap even with shipping it works great i love this movie
I bought this movie because I saw part of it on HBO. I thought it was a good, exciting movie with just the right ingredients, with a few minor issues, to be called most excellent.
The movie has a lot of violence - fighting with and without gunfire. It also has a couple of sexual issues, but no nudity. The movie would have been better without those.
Still, the movie has lots of humor and keeps your attention throughout. It was the first movie my wife and I have actually sat through entirely and enjoyed it.
I must say that in one big fighting scene, the acrobat stunts were amazing and rather fun to watch...
I would recommend to many, but I would be careful about showing to younger kids due to the violence and sexual issues.
For reference, the sexual issues are a monkey humping on The Rock, who plays the main character, and a later reference to that with the statement similar to "I would rather see a monkey with a hard on." Other than those two issues and the violence, it is a decent movie. NO GORE! The fighting is more explosive and hitting, I don't recall seeing any bloody scenes.Read full review
And very funny.
I can honestly say I seriously doubted I would like this film and I only went to see it because it was on and I was there. I'd never seen a movie with The Rock before or even watched any wrestling so I was kind of dubious as to whether or not he would be any good.
In fact he was a great actor, full of personality and charisma, willing to make fun of himself and was great with the action. The Rock is definitely the next Arnie. Vin (Donald Duck) Diesel is the next Jean Claude Van Damme.
Seann William Scott was also pretty funny in a rare NOT Stifler performance. As an actor he does have genuine talent that's usually wasted in low-brow teen sex comedies.
The Rundown is a sort of Indiana Jones-lite movie. The Rock plays a bounty hunter/chef who is sent to track down Seann William Scott south of the border. Against his will The Rock ends up on a trek through the depths of the Mexican jungle looking for some ancient artefact. Unoriginal it may be but director Peter Berg keeps it moving with plenty of stunts, action and laughs. Christopher Walken's villain is a bit of a cardboard cut-out but how evil are you allowed to be in a PG-13?
I look forward to the next movie starring The Rock. With talks of a third Conan movie I can only imagine him being the best choice. And keep a lookout for Arnie in the nightclub at the very beginning. 'Have fun' is his only line. And fun The Rock will certainly have as the next BIG action hero.
Keep a lookout for Scottish actor Ewan Bremner (a zillion times the 'star' Ewan MacGregor is) in a funny role as a slob pilot.Read full review
The Rundown Will have you laughing your butt off
One of the funniest action movies I've seen in the last 5 years. The Rock and Sean William Scott are the perfect couple.
The action scenes are very well done and the Rundown is full of laughs. Christopher Walken is his regular bad-*** self so you know this movie is going to be good.
Final Verdict:
5/5
Rent or Buy?: Action or COmedy fan? This is a must own for you, I've watched it over a dozen times and still laugh my buns off.
