The Rundown

September 27th, 2003 by

Ebert gave it 3 1/2 stars and I agree with him. Sean Willam Scott, Christopher Walken, and The Rock (ok I can’t take it, I’m calling him Rock. I refuse to call anyone The anything) do an excellent job together in this entertaining action flick that plays out in and around a mining town in Brasil. One of the things I liked a lot about it was that the special effects are very believable. No guys jumping impossible heights. No flames shooting out of a guys chest when he’s shot with a standard bullet. You might actually find yourself saying ouch, shit, ooh, damn and stuff like that specifically because the effects are well done. The fight scenes are excellent and well choreographed. There’s a bit of humor, and a relatively believable plot. Can’t ask for much more in an action flick I guess. Cool enough.
