The Rundown

Over the years I have watched THE ROCK metamorphose into the superstar tha he has become. Not a big fan of wrestling, I am a fan of anyone who crosses over from wrestling to the big screen with such ease.

Dwayne Johnson is also one of those types of people much like myself- big, brown, and of an ambiguous race- people look at me and often ask- what is your race? I am sure that THE ROCK gets that almost as much as I do.

Over the weekend I went and saw THE RUNDOWN which is by far one of the best movies I have seen this year in the action genre. It's not an amazing story- duh. It is just a fun movie with a lot of big laughs and big hits.

The only thing I didn't like about the movie is that THE ROCK is too nice. I want someone to come in like THE TERMINATOR- caring nothing for the human race, only his objective. I want people to get punched in the face for no reason at all, I want clever phrases that I can use later in conversation, in other words, I want THE ROCK to be the next Arnold Schwarzenneger- is this possible? I think so. THE ROCK just needs to get an accent, I think possibly something with a Jamaican/Hungarian flavor- that would definitely spice his character up a bit.

So go see THE RUNDOWN- it is light years ahead of The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King- well, maybe not light years- but it's a whole heck of a lot better.
