Considering it's one of actor's best films, it was actually a big flop when it was originally released; making only $80 million on a $85 million budget. However, over time the movie has become popular with action fans.
The Rundown (PG-13; $14.98; 104 minutes) was re-released to Blu-ray (+DVD) earlier this year by Mill Creek Entertainment. There are no special features or bonus extras.
Directed by Peter Berg, The Rundown centers around Beck (played by Dwayne Johnson), a bounty hunter who is sent to the treacherous jungles of the Amazon to locate Travis Walker (played by Seann Williams Scott) and bring him to the United States to his father, Billy (played by William Lucking). While the job seemed to be pretty simple at first, Beck quickly realizes he might be way over his head because capturing Travis is going to be most difficult job he has ever been assigned.
In order to catch Travis, Beck teams up with a rebel leader, Mariana (played by Rosario Dawson), which eventually leads them on a search for a missing golden artifact called the O Gato do Diabo.
Christopher Walken costars as the movie's villain and Arnold Schwarzenegger has an uncredited cameo.
