Overview

When Travis, the mouthy son of a criminal, disappears in the Amazon in search of a treasured artifact, his father sends in Beck, who becomes Travis’s rival for the affections of Mariana, a mysterious Brazilian woman. With his steely disposition, Beck is a man of few words—but it takes him all the discipline he can muster to work with Travis to nab a tyrant who’s after the same treasure.

Viewing Notes

THE RUNDOWN should have launched Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s action career. Instead, his career went into a tailspin of mediocre action flicks and strange choices with kid’s movies. It’s a shame, because THE RUNDOWN is Dwayne Johnson’s best and most entertaining movie.

Directed (sans shakycam!) by Peter Berg it’s surprisingly funny with some great banter between Johnson and Seann William Scott. Christopher Walken does his best Christopher Walken impersonation and the action delivers on all fronts.
