The Rundown - A Movie Review
B +
By Doofus
Welcome to the jungle, WWF Smackdown-style. The Rock plays a crime kingpin's "retrieval expert" who gets assigned to track down the boss' treasure-hunting son (Seann William Scott of American Pie fame) in the Amazon jungle to pay off a debt.
From the opening scene you may get the idea that this is going to be one 90 minute long, Rock kicking everyone in sights ass type of film.
Well he does kick a lot of ass at the beginning and at the end of the movie during the inevitable showdown with the local slave driving-mine owners (nicely and weirdly played by Christopher Walken) personal army.
In between though there are some truly humorous moments with rebels, drugged fruits, and humping monkeys around every tree.
The flick moves along at a nice pace and there is plenty of chemistry between the two stars to keep things interesting.
It's easily the most fun you'll have with horny monkeys all year.
(at least I hope so
)
