A tough aspiring chef is hired to bring home a mobster's son from the Amazon but becomes involved in the fight against an oppressive town operator and the search for a legendary treasure.
In order to get out of hock with mobster Billy Walker, restaraunteur-turned-"retrieval expert" Beck has to go down to Brazil and retrieve Billy's ne'er-do-well archaeologist-wannabe son Travis, who is searching for an ancient gold idol called the Gato del Diablo. This idol is prized by not only the local population as the path to their salvation, but by Cornelius Hatcher, slavedriving operator of the Helldorado mining town who oppresses said population in the name of profits, and Hatcher just won't let Beck leave with Travis.
There is a distinct earnest eagerness clearly evident as "the Rock" once again tries to create his niche as an action hero, an aspiration in which he is not entirely unsuccessful. He is bold and buff, and exudes a certain likability, but as this lame screenplay demonstrates, as an action hero he is much more likely to be undone by 90 minutes of banalities masquerading as a script, stitched together by the attendant perfunctory explosions and predictable fight scenes, than by the evil plans (or brigades of thugs) commanded by a stock movie villain. Aspects of the plot of "The Rundown" are borrowed from a wide spectrum of movie standards, generously dosed with politically correct platitudes. Working as a debt collector for a loan shark while secretly clinging to his plans of opening a restaurant (strong, yes, but sensitive too, is he), the Rock accepts an assignment to retrieve the dissolute son of his employer (Stifler) from a remote Amazon village in exchange for clearing his own debt. We are led to believe that the Rock has a code of honor which involves fairplay, being a man of his word, and abjuring the use of firearms. Each of these is mentioned, and is factored into the script, but none are fully developed, and so they just end up as so many more loose ends sloppily strewn about the set. Stifler, we are asked to believe, is an archeologist who has found the secret chamber of an ancient indigenous idol (borrowed heavily from Indians Jones' milieu). A beautiful rebel leader agrees with the Rock to lead them from the jungle in exchange for the idol. Despite her apparent abandonment of this pact, (at the expense of the Rock and Stifler) the Rock somehow interprets her subsequent capture by the bad guys as having left him not holding up his part of the bargain, and charges into the fray to effect her rescue. His efficacy and the ensuing lethal results seem no more pernicious when he is compelled to break his personal vow (never fully explained, and rather odd for someone in his line of work) of forswearing the employment of firearms, and a shotgun soon adds to the general mayhem. Christopher Walken reprises his villain-as-weirdo role from that James Bond movie, this time mining gold in a most environmentally unfriendly fashion, and exploiting the poor Amazonians. We have seen it all before as he blusters across the set intermittently, as though wondering how he ended wasting his time with this movie. Sadly enough, it is very possible indeed that this feeling will be shared by the viewer.
A bounty hunter is given one last job before retirement, to find a mobster's son and bring him home. From the jungle! Starring Seann William Scott, Dwayne Johnson ( The Rock ) and Christopher Walken. Written by R.J Stewart and James Vanderbilt. Directed by Peter Berg. This is funny and entertaining and it's got everything you would expect from an action movie. Including thrills, laughs, action sequences and one liners. It's not often that something makes me laugh so much but this did. The plot is nothing we haven't seen before and The Rock's acting is more than a little bit wooden but overall I really enjoyed it. Seann William Scott was hilarious and the stand out performer. It's worth watching just for him. 8/10
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.
In Great Britain, this movie had been cut in order to achieve the more lucrative BBFC12 rating, however, only the uncut US Theatrical Version was released on DVD (tagged as "Director's Cut"). The later BD release turned out to be a bad surprise: despite the BBFC15 rating only the shortened BBFC12 version could be found on the disc! Nearly one and a half minutes are missing in this version. a5c7b9f00b
