The Rundown (Welcome to the Jungle) Reviews

Mildly entertaining action movie with The Rock.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

I think you can smell what the Rock is cooking: a dish that'll fatten your head but pleasantly plump your gut. [Blu-ray]

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Sounds worse the more you talk about it.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

If, like me, you dismissed The Rundown as just another stupid action vehicle for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - get in the apology line behind me

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

It's Midnight Run with added insects but with only a twentieth of the humour and a hundredth of the charm.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

It's slick, it's loud, and it's catalyzing--a gadfly of a film from a subversive filmmaker approaching the mainstream but not quite there yet.

O diretor Peter Berg e sua equipe foram assaltados quando estiveram no Brasil à procura de locações. Pois bem: eles se vingaram - e este longa é a prova disto.

[L]ikely to cement The Rock's place at the top of the current action hero pile.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

A letdown, more marketing tool than movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

It's a fun ride and a throwback to the kind of action movies that were popular in the 1980s, the days before ... special effects dominated every frame.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

[T]he plot and the characters and the action set pieces all have to be built around an action star. The Rundown... indicates that the Rock is ready to be that star.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Worth the chase, the Rundown is simple entertainment at it's best.

Full Review | Original Score: B+

One of those failed adventure yarns in which the character interaction is forced to make up for other shortcomings.

| Original Score: 2/4

The Rock is the action star of the new millennium, and his charismatic presence in The Rundown solidifies that.

| Original Score: 3/4

A smart, fun actioner.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Not a single character behaves with any logic at all, but at least they're colourful and energetic enough to keep our interest.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

It shows potential for a new franchise and a new star, or stars, in the genre.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

If you can smell what The Rock is cooking, then get a sensational whiff of his homemade cinematic snack known as the giddy and glossy executed The Rundown

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

The final action flick of the summer is in fact the best.

| Original Score: 4/5

Far and away one of the most enjoyable, not to mention best-made, action comedies since the original Lethal Weapon.
