Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest movie stars of the 21st century, but back in the first few years of the 2000s he was still mostly seen as a wrestler trying to make the switch to the big screen. Maybe that's why The Rundown was a bit overlooked at the time, but it's always been one of my favorite Dwayne Johnson movies. Which is why I'm glad to see it getting some respect on Netflix, as it landed in the US Netflix Top 10 movies list on September 4.
The Rundown sees Johnson star as Beck, an enforcer/bounty hunter for a mob boss that aspires to be a chef is given one last job before he can get the money he needs to start his own restaurant: go to the Amazon and find the mob boss' son. What should be an easy grab and go job becomes a lot more complicated when the target, Travis (Sean William Scott), is determined to find a long lost treasure in the jungle, which also draws the interest of a dangerous town operator, played by Christopher Walken. Rosario Dawson also stars.
