THE RUNDOWN stars The Rock as Beck, a retriever/bounty hunter, who is hired to bring Travis ( Seann William Scott) back to the States from the Amazon. Seems Travis was a bad boy and daddy wants him back to face the music, but the real story begins as Beck and Travis come up against a nasty town boss ( Christopher Walken) and then the fun really starts. Beck and Travis reluctantly join forces to seek out a treasure and help the local rebels who are resisting Walken and company, which leads up to a wild showdown.
This flick was a real surprise. It is well written, well directed and even well acted. The Rock has shown tremendous improvement in his acting ability since The Scorpion King, but fact is, he has something better to work with here. The Rundown has everything going for it; action, adventure, drama and plenty of humor. And though it is a Peter Berg film, think John Woo when it comes to the choreographed fight scenes. Picture quality is outstanding and the sound track will test your system. It's loaded with LF effects. This is a fun film I will enjoy watching again.
BTW, Awnold makes an appearance. A symbolic passing of the torch ? Well don't be surprised if The Rock turnes out to be the next big boxoffice action hero .
