    Exciting adventures and fight movie with two sympathetic starring , The Rock and Sean William Scott
    This moving film concerns upon Beck , ¨ The Rock¨ , a bouncing and hunk man who's assigned by William Lucking to track down his son , Travis/Sean William Scott , in Amazon jungle . He will have to confront lots of dangers until find him and both of whom will take on a villain , mine proprietary , Christopher Walken . There is a girl , Rosario Dawson , who will help them . They are chasing an extraordinary treasure , the two team up in pursuit of riches stored in a mine , facing off revolutionaries , jungle's monkeys and nasty enemies.Welcome to Rock-Solid Entertainment! . Bulls, guns, whips, gold and one sacred cat .

    In the film there are noisy adventures , action pace , impressive struggles , beautiful landscapes and a little bit of humor concerning the starring couple , making a ¨Buddy movie¨ type . Both of them fighting against an oppressive town operator and the search for a legendary treasure . There are a lot of references to Dwayne Johnson as the famous wrestling fighter , subsequently he turned a successful and box-office actor . According to Sean William Scott there are several bits were just jokes , but they were so entertaining and amusing that kept in the film . From start to finish the action-packed is non-stop . Runtime movie is adjusted , around hundred minutes , it's fast moving and that's why it is neither tiring, not boring , but bemusing . The final confrontation between ¨Rock¨ and the contenders is breathtaking and overwhelming ; likeness to ending showdown in the pictures starred by Chuck Norris , Charles Bronson and Arnold in which they kill a great deal of enemies with fists and weapons . The movie though shot in fits and starts obtained success enough , but didn't fail in box office .

    The film's original title was "Helldorado" , it was then modified to "Welcome to the Jungle" , before being changed again, and it was finally titled "The Rundown". Thrilling and moving musical score by Harry Gregson-Williams . Colorful and evocative cinematography by Tobias A. Schliessler . The flick was professionally directed by Peter Berg . The movie will appeal to exotic adventures and action movies fans . Rating : 6/10 , well catching .
