The Rundown

Once in the jungle they have all sorts of harrowing adventures, and I enjoyed it that real things were happening, that we were not simply looking at shoot-outs and chases, but at intriguing and daring enterprise.

An action-adventure flick that could turn into this generation's "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

Turns out he's infinitely more likable than Vin Diesel, who carries his sense of stardom through every movie like an insufferable Atlas. In fact, Dwayne Johnson is a gentleman, the kind of Rock who puts you in a very easy place.

An amiable action-comedy, amiable enough that the laughs come in a steady drizzle if not a torrent, and that the action is something blissfully less than the usual full-out assault on our battered senses.

Aggressively adolescent. It hearkens back to the time in a young man's life when humping monkeys were funny, when a promise didn't count if your fingers were crossed, when debating pointless hypothetical questions held a fascination, and when professional wrestling offered endless, senseless entertainment.

The director, Peter Berg ("Very Bad Things"), keeps the predictable story line on course without developing a truly compelling momentum in the action sequences or finding anything fresh in the interaction of the stock characters.

To call this action gambit formulaic is to sell it short: The Rundown runs down more formulas than a month's worth of complimentary premium cable service.

This was fun, really entertaining and probably deserves a sequel. Engaging chemistry between The Rock and Sean William Scott. Kudos also to Ernie Reyes, Jr. who provided one of the most memorable action scenes - his best performance since Ninja Turtles 2 and Ninja Surfers.

Still pissed they never made a sequel to this, especially with the success that Peter Berg and The Rock have been having lately. In terms of action, its a fun movie with a great sense of humor, great shots and really cool bare knuckle fight scenes. It's still The Rock's best movie, honestly even though hes gone on to have success in the Fast and Furious movies, ect. Still holding out hope for that sequel

"The Rundown" was a good movie, judging by the views, it was loaded with a lot of action, with a fairly regular story, and a very Indiana Jones Dwayne Johnson.

Reminded me of a newer Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, with Dwayne playing Arnold's part. As with Arnold's successful formula, humorous interludes separate the action sequences. The story line was weak by comparison, Dwayne ain't no Arnold.

It wants to be Raiders so bad and that’s a reasonable thing to aspire to, but it fails miserably.
