I'm actually pretty eager to see it.  I'm pretty impressed by "The Rock" as an actor- he's better than most of your action/martial arts type actors.  This flick looks like a lot of fun.

I snuck into the press screening the other day w/ my friend. I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually a pretty fun movie. By the numbers and formulaic, for sure, but a good popcorn flick...

Johnny Knoxville was very good, as was the rock. My only real gripe (besides the ridiculous plot, which really didn't bother me!) was it was very short, over before you knew it... I think it clocked in at 80 min. w/o credits.

I didn't know it was a remake, anyone seen the original?

[Rob Babcock]

Yeah, it was a big favorite of my dad.  I'm sure it'd be pretty cheesy by todays standards, but it's based on a true story.

I was blown away by "The Rundown"- it had it's flaws, but it was a lot better than it had to be.  The Rock impressed me enough that I'd now call myself a fan.

For the record, I've never seen him wrestle, although I know he was/is a big star.

your dads favorite-DAM THAT MAKES ME FEEL OLD
i can remember watching it on hbo as a kid

[Rob Babcock]

Well, I'm 34, so I probably watched it on HBO about the same time!

In my dads perfect world, Chuck Norris would win Oscars.   So pretty much any film where a redneck kicks ass on other rednecks with a 2x4 rates pretty high up!

My folks are in town for a visit this weekend, and Dad & I watched "The Rundown" last nite.  Needless to say he was in heaven!

I guess that shows my age, I remember seeing it at the theater as a teenager.   We thought Joe Don Baker was pretty bad ass after busting up folks with a baseball bat.
