The Rundown

Synopsis:

The Rock plays Beck, a bounty hunter on one last mission to bring back his mob boss' errant son, Travis, from the Brazilian rainforest. Travis, comically played by Sean William Scott (American Pie, Evolution), is treasure hunting for a priceless Indian artifact also sought by corrupt, slave-driving, goldmine owner Hatcher (Walken, Catch Me if You Can, The Deer Hunter).

It's at this mining town, El Dorado, that Beck runs into Mariana -- a bartender and rebel leader fighting against the evil Hatcher. Beck's attempts to retrieve Travis wind up with them both lost in the jungle and pursued by Hatcher. Cue hair raising action scenes with lots of comedy thrown in - all interestingly gun-free.

Beck prefers to sort out his opponents, kung fu style. Following "The Scorpion King", this is further proof that The Rock can cut the mustard as 21st century heir to Schwarzenegger's action throne. Walken, meanwhile, excels in the kind of eccentric evil role we have come to expect from him. A rollicking, fun-filled adventure not to be missed.
