Genre: ACTION / ADVENTURE
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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great action movie
First and foremost, The Rundown has one of the best opening sequences in movie history. Beck (The Rock) is a collections expert who is in a packed club attempting to collect some cash from an NFL quarterback who has renigged on a wager he lost. After being denied by the QB, and having alcohol thrown in his face, Beck proceeds to an epic beatdown. The coolest part about it is the fact that since they are all football players, the movie does an introduction of sorts, with the players' vital statistics ... Read More
Rating: - Welcome to the Jungle
I must say I enjoyed this film a lot, it's funny with plenty of action, lots of exaggerated fights, etc. Being British, where this movie is called 'Welcome To The Jungle', I should note that the Region 2 DVD release has most of the deleted scenes included part of the cut of the movie, which means the HD version here is slightly shorter and a wee bit less violent than the DVD release. Which annoyed me a bit.
Rating:  - An enjoyable disposable action flick
The Rundown (aka Welcome to the Jungle) is more fun than it looks without ever making it to the top grade of disposable action schlock. Aside from one energetic fight with diminutive rebels swinging from ropes, director Peter Berg isn't so hot at action scenes, the script doesn't bother with much in the way of explanations and a little of Ewan Bremner's Pogues act goes a long, long way. But The Rock is a likeable lead, Seann William Scott is less annoying than usual, Christopher Walken works his usual ... Read More
Rating:  - Fun Movie
Movie is fun, nothing too special, Amazon service was super and the product was as described. Nothing more here... move on.
Rating: - good movie......but the HD isnt all that
I enjoy "The Rock" in just about any movie that he does and so when i saw the chance to get "The Rundown" in HD DVD for only $9, i jumped on it. I already have this movie in reg dvd format so i was hoping to get a better picture with the HD version. Sadly, this movie doesnt really live up to other HD movies. The picture is clear, but not as clear and i found the sound to be just like the reg dvd version.....nothing special. Dont pay more then $15 for this one guys....otherwise you might want your money ... Read More
