Professional wrestling star the Rock, who was such a lump of flesh in The Scorpion King, proves surprisingly light on his feet in The Rundown, demonstrating charm and humor as well as the requisite toughness. Beck (the Rock), a repo-man for deadbeats, is sent to South America to find a treasure hunter (Seann William Scott) who's seeking a priceless golden idol--which the local head honcho (Christopher Walken) would like to get his hands on as well.

I wrote a review for the V.H.S. edition of this film, a few years ago, but it is gone now, because it is no longer available on V.H.S., and Amazon has completely removed it from their database. I saw this movie when it came out 21 years ago (1983). I've always liked it a lot. The scientist that created the android, gets very attached to it, throughout this movie, because he and his wife were never able to have children of their own, so the human looking android, is like a "Son" figure for the scientist. I like that aspect of this film. The ending is sad, but Michael (the android), did the right thing. The government would have used him for the wrong reasons. Watch this movie, and I think that you will like it. More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Christopher Plummer DVD Release Date: Released the 04 May 2004 Usually ships within 24 hours
