Dwayne Johnson and Christopher Walken in---The Rundown (2003)





Our movie begins with Beck (The Rock—Dwayne Johnson) who is a hard-hitting wannabe chef trying to finish an assignment for his mobster boss Walker (William Lucking) as a bounty hunter.

Beck (The Rock) is sent to collect $50,000 from a football player who owes the money for a gambling debt. After the football player chose the wrong way to solve his issue. Beck retrieves his Super Bowl Ring for collateral until the debt is paid. 

However, before Beck can get in his car another guy Walker sent as a backup man shoots him with paint packs and takes the ring.

When Beck arrives at the Walker home he is not in too good a mood to say the least. He tells Walker he wants his money and he wants out. 

That he wants to start his restaurant, but Walker tells him--- if he will do one more job for him; he will have his restaurant.
Walker gives Beck an envelope with photos of a young man, and Walker tells Beck it is his son, Travis (Seann William Scott). That he wants him brought back to California. And he will find him in the Amazon.
This is where the fun begins, as Beck tracks down Travis Walker the fun begins. Beck has to deal with keeping Travis and outrunning Hatcher (Christopher Walken). 

Mariana (Rosario Dawson) who is a bartender and leader of her people who are being used by Hatcher to dig in his mines and are paid very little for their work, and if they often beaten with whips if they disagree in any way.
This is a fun movie, with fast action, and a story with a heart and one of my favorite films, which is out on DVD. However, having The Rock in it did not hurt.
