When Travis, the mouthy son of a criminal, disappears in the Amazon in search of a treasured artifact, his father sends in Beck, who becomes Travis's rival for the affections of Mariana, a mysterious Brazilian woman.

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The Rundown, like many recent action movies, is aggressively adolescent.
The Rock ... has a special quality.
Will probably make a star of the Rock.
Too often brings guffaws at all the wrong moments, when it's not being simply too stupid for words.
