The Rundown

Wanna know what I truly enjoyed about this movie? It's the chemistry between Beck (starred by The Rock) and Mariana (starred by Rosario Dawson). They make good couple roles except they weren't a couple in this movie. In fact, there was no couple or love story going on in this action screening. It's plain action and even more action. The Rock is a good fighter.

Synopsis extracts from The Rundown Official Site
In the always rough, have-to-be tough urban jungle of Los Angeles, there are men like Beck (THE ROCK)... well, not exactly like Beck - a man who uses whatever means are necessary to retrieve whatever he is paid to bring back. A marker, a late payment or a Super Bowl ring from a quarterback with gambling debts - Beck doesn't differentiate and simply relies on his wits, his "let's get this over with" attitude and his devastating physical prowess to get the job done. For him, it's a simple, multiple-choice world: (A) Beck's way, (B) Beck's way with force, or (C)... there is no "C."

Beck doesn't go looking for trouble, and he doesn't like making trouble for anyone, either. Unfortunately, trouble is what he's hired to clean up, and there's one final mess he's got to get out of before he can leave it all behind. And this one just keeps getting more and more tangled, like the Amazon jungle he's been sent to in "The Rundown".

I think The Rock totally rocks in this film simply because he plays the cool character; the character that is strong in stature and in the principles of life that he holds onto. And that is the one thing that I truly admire in people.

Other than that, the storyline is predictable. Man get hired, man get job done, man get paid. Simple plot made into a wild goose race in the Amazon Jungle. Girls would probably watch it just to catach a glimpse of those hot hard abs. Guys would probably do the same, half hoping that the would own such a hot body. Yes, The Rock rocks!!
