hi, this film was a pleasent suprise when i watched it on sky movies that i went to buy it on DVD. it's a nice little action film that shouldn't be missed and i feel this is an underated film. it stars the rock who can act and give a believable performance in his fight scenes. which there are plenty of. there also a few action scenes whith guns which was nice to see as i'm not into all these kung foo things. you won't lose interest as it is very witty and with the bad guys constantly after them be sure to turn up the volume. overall you won't regret getting this if your any action/comedy fan or just want a good film to watch. thanks.
A fun action film. August 26, 2006

This seems to be a little known action film considering it is recent and stars The Rock and Sean William Scott. Maybe because it's known as The Rundown in USA? However I'm glad I stumbled across it. Many action film offerings are often copies of earlier action films and stick to the same formula. This was something new as The Rock could well be the new Arnie, Stallone for the current generation. This has a good mix of action, comedy, stunts and fights. The Jungle setting has not been over done. Overall a good fun film that seems to have gone unnoticed, definitely worth renting out for a nights viewing! 7/10
 A generic action film January 7, 2006

THE RUNDOWN stars ex-wrestler and NFL wannabe Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock) in a mishmash of just about every sort of action flick you've ever seen. It incorporates elements reminiscent (to me at least) of the Matrix, Indiana Jones, Jackie Chan, Romancing the Stone, Lethal Weapon, the Terminator, and Mad Max. Ok, ok - maybe I'm exaggerating. But you get my drift?pJohn is Beck, a retrieval specialist, sent by his boss to the Brazilian Amazon jungle to recover his errant son, Travis (Seann William Scott). Trouble is, Travis doesn't want to leave - he's too busy tracking down an artifact of native treasure, a solid gold statue hidden in the jungle. This trinket thrusts Beck and Travis between battling armed nationalists, led by bar-owner Mariana (Rosario Dawson), and the stereotypic Evil White Man, Hatcher (Christopher Walken), whose empire is an enormous open-pit gold mining operation worked by downtrodden locals kept in line by whip-wielding thugs.pTo my mind, THE RUNDOWN is saved by the likeable Beck and a strong performance by Walken. Otherwise, it's just a series of confrontations, mostly kung-fu action sequences, with a gun battle and a vehicle chase thrown in for variety. Mariana simply serves as eye-candy.pIs The Rock destined to be the next generation Tough Guy action hero? Perhaps. In a blink-of-an-eye cameo at the beginning of the film, Arnold Schwarzenegger passes Beck on the way out of a nightclub and says Have fun!' Arnie is off to be Governor of California, leaving the heavy lifting to his successor.pThis isn't a bad movie, and is an entertaining introduction to The Rock as a leading man of the genre. I just hope the plots of his future releases are a little more focused and, um (dare I say), intelligent. Also, THE RUNDOWN ends with the impression that Beck and Travis will continue on as a team. Oh, I hope not since the latter is one of the more clownish and irritating characters I've seen on the Big Screen lately. There's not the chemistry between the two as between Gibson and Glover (of the LETHAL WEAPON series), or Wilson and Chan (of the SHANGHAI series), or Smith and Jones (of the MEN IN BLACK series).

I hate wrestling, (it's sad), but The Rock is fantastic in this movie. I never thought Wrestlers could be good actors but The Rock and Seann William Scott really add to the comedy and the adventure to make this a fun and exiting film. It has no boring moments, just good action from start to finnish, (A real Guys movie). If you like explosions, Comedy and Adventure, I highly recomend this film. Sure, it's fake like a Die Hard movie but that's what makes it great.
The Rock can act! July 14, 2005

I'm a great fan of the WWE and the Rock so i thats why i watched this film. Before i personally thought that the Rock may not be able to act that well but this film proved me wrong! The action is great to, like when Beck (The Rock) takes down about six people in a night club, he rock bottomed one of them. He also uses guns at the end and (conveiniently) walks out of where he's been taking cover and shoots all of these henchmen. After this i think alot people will want to use him for action films, maybe the next James Bond? (That was a joke). Sean William William Scott's character Travis is also very funny and maybe a bit wierd in the head. The story line is kind of difficult to understand at some parts but you should eventually get it. Comedy and action go together well!
