Vitamin Z vs. The Rundown
This evening I rented "The Rundown" with the Rock and Stiffler--err--Sean William Scott. I have to admit to never being that big of a fan of action films, since if you've seen one, you have pretty much seen them all.
But this one is a little different, with a strange sense of humor, and a cast of characters that don't take themselves too seriously.
The plot isn't much, but the action scenes are fun, and there is a great deal more intelligence in the humor than usually seen.
Of course, I have been a big Rock fan since he was a member of the Nation of Domination in the WWF in 1997. Still, this is the first movie I have seen him in, and he did a pretty good job. Christopher Walken steals the film (as usual) and this is certainly one that is worth seeing.
Oh and one more thing: You should see this movie for the first two minutes, when a certain California politician walks by the Rock and says "Have fun." The look on the Rock's face, and the way the scene is underplayed--make the film a must see.
The terminator may be passing the torch.
