Nice effects though.

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Protagonist Beck wants to be a chef but he can't pay off his debts let alone buy a restaurant so he is acting as a private debt collector for a shady character named Billy Walker. Walker offers him a job that will clear his debts and pay for the restaurant. He is to head deep into the Brazilian jungle and bring back Wilder's wayward son Travis. It won't be easy though; the whole area belongs to Cornelius Hatcher, a mine owner who is brutally using the local population. If that weren't enough Travis doesn't want to go home; he believes he has discovered the location of 'O Gato do Diabo', 'The Cat of the Devil'; a priceless ancient gold artefact. Inevitable, after various difficulties Beck and Travis end up going after the Gato and must ultimately confront Wilder and his thugs.One might consider this a sub-Indiana Jones adventure but that would be a little unfair; the plot may be a little flimsy but that doesn't matter as it supplies action and laughs throughout. Dwayne Johnson, in an early role where he is still solely credited as 'The Rock', shows that he has what it takes to lead an action film; not surprisingly he is great in the action scenes but he is also humorous and makes his character likable. When first introduced I feared Sean William Scott's Travis would be annoying but ultimately he proved to be very funny. Christopher Walken is a great villain and there is solid support from Rosario Dawson as a barmaid who is more than she seems. There is also a small but enjoyable performance from Ewen Bremner as the bush pilot whose strong accent makes him hard for characters to understand. The action is nicely varied with plenty of fights, some gunplay and even bad guys with bullwhips... if that weren't enough there is also a troop of monkeys that prove to be hilariously disturbing. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody wanting exciting rather than brutal action and plenty of laughs.

Fine photography and scenic wonders are all there in this film, but, oddly, it is a youthful Seann William Scott who steals this film from star Dwayne Johnson and everything else. The story, naturally, is silly...but it has humor and lots of action scenes. In fact, almost all of it is action, often with comedic touches that are played well by the two men. Johnson has charisma, but Scott is in his element, offering the kind of zany performance, and good looks, that should have propelled him to more important and jucier roles. Not a bad film to sit through on a rainy or snowy night. You won't be bored.

Bounty Hunter The Rock takes on a job in the South American jungle so that he can be released from whatever debt he owes this guy and get his own restaurant. Then put the believability cloak in the closet because it is all tongue in cheek after that.This crazy kid Travis he is chasing down is nuts, in a weird somewhat harmless way. The Rock battles against Christopher Walken, an excellent job by Walken in an otherwise unthrilling acting display. The Rock takes on all rivals. You already know the plot, you know who is going to win, don't you? the rest is there so you ask - how is this going to go down.Even tho there was little acting, the plot was stupid, the characters thin, because of how they played the whole movie as tongue in cheek, it emerges a respectable B grade movie. Hey - you could do worse. Enjoy.

If you are looking for action, it doesn't come any better than this. This film has one of the best fight scenes in a movie between The Rock and the Kontiki rebels. It also has some of the best stunt work as two stunt men are thrown from a jeep as it falls off the side of a cliff. The stunt men tumble and fall down the cliff, hitting multiple trees and debris. Eventually the two men perform a tumbling 55' high fall into a large pool without the use of wires.But, what it has most of all is the Puerto Rican, Cuban, African American, Irish and Native American beauty Rosario Dawson (Rent, Sin City, Grindhouse).This is probably the best role I have seen for Christopher Walken. He plays Hatcher, the bad guy, and he plays it well.Even Arnold Schwarzenegger puts in an appearance.
