The Rundown

Post by Akaran_D »

This.. is funny.
The Rock and the guy that play Stiffler from AP are a great duo.

The storyline is dicey and kinda lame. The action is to be expected giving WHO is in the movie. However, the playoffs between the two are great.

Even Christopher Walken gives a good performance.

"even" Christopher Walken gives a good performance - like he's included in the good performances...along with the Rock and Stifler? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I just got done watching this. Decent movie for what it is. Walken is as expected, genius. I also got a kick out of the Ahnuld cameo at the beginning.

Walken is one of my favorite actors, I love his little scene in Pulp Fiction. He is unintentionally funny.

Fun movie. I made fun of "The Roclk" for months after Scorpion Kinng, because it was well...crap, even though I enjoyed some of it. I mean, everyone knows that the rock is NOT a good actor, but a movie like this is NOT about the acting, its about the acting and having fun.

This movie was actualy enjoayable and the bad acting by the rock was forgivable, because its not *supposed* to be a quality film, but rather a fun one that a lot of people will see and a fine ammount will enjoy. Usually I completely dislike a movie like this, but it was actually entertaining and with Walken, I don't think you can leave dissapointed.

Thumbs up. OBVIOUSLY not a spectacular movie, but fun enough to spend money watching it with a few friends, who fail at movie critiques. =p.

Walken is always good, even when he appears on Saturday Night Live and offers "Champagne"!

LOL!

I watched the trailer and it seems as if Ernie Reyes Jr is in the movie too, kickin' the rock in one part hehe.

Been a while since he's been in the movies.
