A lot of fun and just a balls to the wall guy action flick...

Cinema Crazed

I think you can smell what the Rock is cooking: a dish that'll fatten your head but pleasantly plump your gut. [Blu-ray]

Sounds worse the more you talk about it.

If, like me, you dismissed The Rundown as just another stupid action vehicle for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - get in the apology line behind me

It's Midnight Run with added insects but with only a twentieth of the humour and a hundredth of the charm.

By the numbers jungle actioner with some cool stunt sequences - and Christopher Walken oppressing the natives! - but missing the essential wet tee shirt teaser that is one of the hallmarks of this genre.

It's so nice when you can still have movies like this come out. This is such a well rounded story with great characters, beautiful cinematography and a little bit of comedy thrown in. The Rock shows again how awesome a human being he is with his physical force and cooking skills, not to mention a great sense of humor. Seann William Scott plays really well off of him and they make for such a great team. This also manages to be a great action/adventure movie without being over the top or too crude for some people, it's truly one of the most accessible movies of its kind.
