Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Professional wrestling star the Rock, who was such a lump of flesh in The Scorpion King, proves surprisingly light on his feet in The Rundown, demonstrating charm and humor as well as the requisite toughness. Beck (the Rock), a repo-man for deadbeats, is sent to South America to find a treasure hunter (Seann William Scott) who's seeking a priceless golden idol--which the local head honcho (Christopher Walken) would like to get his hands on as well. Add in the lovely but dangerous barmaid with a secret (Rosario Dawson), and Beck has some obstacles to overcome. The plot of The Rundown isn't anything special, but the script is enjoyably clever and reasonably coherent; the capable cast keeps things lively; and the movie's relaxed but sinewy pace sets it apart from the frantic floundering of recent action flicks--kudos to director Peter Berg (Very Bad Things). A surprisingly fun flick. --Bret Fetzer

The Rock is the Man.......2007-06-27
WWE Films presents The Rundown or should I say WWF.
If you liked the Rock in the squared circle then you will love him in The Rundown. His performance was off the hook along with Sean's. This is a serious but funny movie, especialy when the monkey starts humping the Rocks face.
Running down the Rock.......2007-06-12
I found this to be a surprisingly entertaining movie. Filmed in Hawaii (a stand-in locale that doubles for Brazil), the cinematography is terrific. The ROCK plays a sort of bounty-hunter who is out to bring a kid (Seann William Scott - AKA "Stiffler") back to his father. Along the way, they have run ins with the local who runs the town (Christopher Walken).
The ROCK's movies tend to be entertaining, although I can't see him being the next Arnie. The action / adventure / comedy is his most natural genre. He doesn't quite have the charisma of the slow-talking, talk-with-an-accent Arnie. However, The ROCK can still carve out a niche for himself and make many more movies to come.
As always Seann William Scott is hilarious, although some of the comic elements in this film don't really "work." Christopher Walken was a good choice to be the stoic villain who is bent on enslaving a town of natives.
If you enjoy adventure movies, give this one a spin. It's more comical than most adventure movies. And, most importantly, it's a whole lotta fun to watch!
Enjoyable Movie for Action fans who like comedy........2007-05-01
I bought this originally because both my husband and daughter like The Rock. They think he's the 'bomb'. I'm not much into wrestlers gone actor, but I have to say, I liked this movie. It isn't one of my favourites, but it is a good one. The story itself was well written, the action was decent (I'm a fan of Japanese and Chinese action movies myself) and the tongue in cheek humour made it highly enjoyable. I wouldn't say the Rock is eye candy in this one, far from it, but he's proving to be a good actor all in all. The movie appeals to everyone in my family for different reasons. It's just an all around good time.
Great movie, Action, comedy, and Christopher Walken, 90 minutes of fun.......2007-01-15
The rock in what would be his first major release movie, the rundown is a story of Beck (the Rock) who is a "collection agent" for a gambling ring. Beck just wants out of the business after so many years of fighting to open a restaurant. But, his boss wants him to do one last job, retrieve his son Travis (shawn william scott) from Brazil's jungles and bring him back home to pay for some outstanding debts. So off to brazil, to El dorado, a small town controlled by a ruthless miner, played by Christopher Walken. Beck is a man of honor, and he will bring back Travis, but along the way, things get complicated when a priceless artifiact Travis has located comes into play. I could go on, but just get this movie. Its funny, and it got some good action and fight scenes. 90 minutes of fun, check it out.

The first 10 minutes rock!.......2007-05-07
This is one of my all-time fav's but you have the credits wrong. Arnold S. is NOT in this movie. And the Rock is not even mentioned.
Fun action movie but lacking trully hd picture..........2006-11-15
Watching this movie hasn't really changed since the DVD days. The story is exciting and the action is constantly flowing. That is why this movie gets four stars from me.
What keeps this movie from getting five stars is the grainy picture. I have a 1080p and watching other hd movies looked good. This movie appeared as they did very little to enhance the quality of picture. The picture was grainy and really didn't appear any better than my dvd version. You may want to invest in some other movie with a better quality picture unless you haven't viewed it before.
color in excess.......2006-08-28
A good moment of action for a rainy day with humor sometimes.This is a pleaseant movie at the end.
The HD Dvd transfer is average with heavy saturation in colors and too sharp contrast.
Great movie.......2006-08-07
This movie was a great. what make it better when you see on HD-player. very funny and I do recommend it to anyone a nice family
movie.
The Rundown on HD.......2006-07-11
What Can I say. This is definately not Oscar Material but what it is, is a Damn Good Action/Popcorn Flick that has some Serious Eye Candy on HD DVD. If you want to see the Amazon Rainforest like it was on your bedroom window This movie will give you that thrill and entertain you in the process.
