Product Description:
The Rock teams up with Seann William Scott for a wildly entertaining action-adventure that Good Morning America's Joel Siegel raves is 'One of the year's biggest, most fun movies!' Beck (The Rock) is a bounty hunter sent into the treacherous jungles of the Amazon to bring the rebellious Travis (Seann William Scott) back to the States. When Beck and Travis reluctantly join forces to hunt down a priceless treasure, this unlikely team embarks on a pulse-pounding, non-stop thrill-ride.
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

Rating:  - A great action flick
In this great movie the Rock plays Beck, a so called "retriever" for a loan shark. Beck dreams to run his own 5-star restraurant and leave this life behind him. However the boss gives one final job, bring back his son Travis (Seann William Scott). Travis not only doesn't want to go home, but bad guy Hatcher (The hilarious Christopher Walken) won't let hime go until Travis finds a mythical golden idol for him were only Travis knows where it is.
The Rock brings pure awesome to this film and is arguably his best film to date. The movie is wonderfully photographed, and the comic moments flow throughout the film making it enjoyable and entertaining at the same time. Not only are the fights choreographed beautifully, but the action is easy to follow and feels realistic, with none of the choppy editing and shaky photography that has ruined many an action movie. Also Seann William Scott shows that he can act and is hilarious. The Rock always entertains and never disappoints and displays here that he sure can act. I had a blast watching this and so did my family.
Rating: - fun no brainer
fun movie that you do not have to think too much about. you can just watch the movie and enjoy it but really not get too invested in the characters or plot.
Rating:  - Not a showcase HD-DVD, but still good fun
Was hoping that on HD-DVD the lush tropical settings would really look sharp, apparently there's a grain filter so it might put off a few. This does fill my collection of "adventure" movies nicely, not the best acting, nor the best dialog.. but there is a lot of fun to be had. 'The Rock' is a great action star, and Walken is just priceless in anything he does.
Rating: - Great Family Go-To Movie
This is our favorite family back-up movie. It doesn't matter if it's 105 degrees or we're stuffed full of turkey, this movie has a little something for everyone. It's fairly family friendly, regarding language etc, no real nudity or sensuality. More importantly for the teen girls and ladies, it has Dwayne Johnson being smart, funny and drop dead gorgeous. For all the guys, there are terrific stunts, mixed martial arts fights. Some wonderful, buddy comedy and Christopher Walken, as always, stealing the show with a silly explanation of the tooth fairy myth to his thugs. A worthwhile investment to keep around the house!
Rating:  - oops
I didn't realize that the DVD I ordered was an HD not a regular. Didn't even know that they can only play on HD players. E-mailed the contact we bought it from and he just said sorry. Wouldn't refund or anything. So we haven't watched it since we have nothing to watch it on!!
