It's like a book club with explosions

The Rundown

I cannot call this movie a cinematic triumph. It did have it's redeeming moments, though.
For example, the whip fight towards the end. How bad-ass can you get? Not much more than a whip fight.
Another example, when The Rock dove through a pillar. Screw you, physics, I'm the Rock.
An idea has struck me: was Beck's desire to open a restaurant merely a reference the the Rock's catchphrase, "Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?" I sure hope it is.
Problems that I had with this movie: Beck's whole thing about guns. I was fine with him not using them, but when he closes his eyes and snaps or whatever he did, that was ridiculous. Also pretty sweet, but fundamentally ridiculous.
My other problem is Seann William Scott. As my friend said, he is the patron saint of douches. And he spells his name with two n's.
Overall, fairly entertaining.
