Product Description: No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: DVD Artist: ROCK/WALKEN Title: RUNDOWN Street Release Date: 02/06/2007 Domestic Genre: ACTION / ADVENTURE
Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - Not a showcase HD-DVD, but still good fun
Was hoping that on HD-DVD the lush tropical settings would really look sharp, apparently there's a grain filter so it might put off a few. This does fill my collection of "adventure" movies nicely, not the best acting, nor the best dialog.. but there is a lot of fun to be had. 'The Rock' is a great action star, and Walken is just priceless in anything he does.
Rating: - Great Family Go-To Movie
This is our favorite family back-up movie. It doesn't matter if it's 105 degrees or we're stuffed full of turkey, this movie has a little something for everyone. It's fairly family friendly, regarding language etc, no real nudity or sensuality. More importantly for the teen girls and ladies, it has Dwayne Johnson being smart, funny and drop dead gorgeous. For all the guys, there are terrific stunts, mixed martial arts fights. Some wonderful, buddy comedy and Christopher Walken, as always, stealing the show with a silly explanation of the tooth fairy myth to his thugs. A worthwhile investment to keep around the house!

I didn't realize that the DVD I ordered was an HD not a regular. Didn't even know that they can only play on HD players. E-mailed the contact we bought it from and he just said sorry. Wouldn't refund or anything. So we haven't watched it since we have nothing to watch it on!!
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 like height, weight, and position. It's highly entertaining to watch Beck demolish a group of guys; it's even better when we know how big each guy is, and that they are professional athletes.
After the initial beatdown, in which it's clear that Beck is one of the baddest men on the planet, Beck meets with his employer (William Lucking), who just happens to be the father of a wannabe archaeologist named ... Read More
