Wrestling Star, The Rock, stars in this action comedy movie alongside "Evolution" and "American Pie"'s Sean William Scott. The Rock stars as Beck a retrieval expert working for a loan shark. He is hired for one last job to find his boss' long lost son who is looking for teasure in the Brazilian rainforrest.

The son (Sean William Scott) is close to finding the treasure but it turns out that his father is not the only one whom he owes money. The local mining company, notorious for abusing an paying its workers a pittence also wants the treasure but will who will prevail?

It's a fun story and in the end Beck grows some kind of concience. With some odd special effects and tons of Wrestling style action, any Rock fans wont be disappointed! The storyline itself is strong enough to keep my attention and the gags are quite funny. Worth finding if you want some light hearted action. Try and work out what nationality the pilot is supposed to be

FYI: In the States this one is called "The Rundown".
