About This Movie

The Rundown is an interesting blend of action and comedy, with Dwayne Johnson in one of his earlier leading roles. The Amazon setting gives it an adventurous vibe, and the practical effects have a nice old-school feel, especially during the fight sequences. The chemistry between Johnson and Seann William Scott is surprisingly good, and they both bring a lot of charm to their roles. Plus, you can't ignore Rosario Dawson as Mariana; she adds depth to the story. It’s not trying to be anything it’s not, which is refreshing. The pacing keeps it moving, and there are enough laughs to balance the action. Definitely a solid entry from the early 2000s that showcases a different era of action-comedy.

Released in theaters September 26, 2003. · Directed by Peter Berg, known for his dynamic action style. · Filmed on location in Hawaii and the Amazon rainforest. · Notable for blending practical effects with CGI.
