Thoughts on The Rundown? - The movie formerly known as Helldorado
I havent found a trailer for this online yet, but a trailer aired in front of Bad Boys II. I think most of you would recognize the name of the movie as Helldorado, which has been changed a few times. For those who don't, the movie stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sean William Scott, and Christopher Walken.
Anyway, caught the trailer in front of Bad Boys II and it seemed like an entertaining film, a mix between action and comedy. For those who saw the trailer, what do you think?

I saw the trailer on Access Hollywood the other night, and I too had difficulty trying to make sense of the "point", but you know what, I like the Rock, I like Sean William Scott, and I like the action/comedy mis-matched buddy flick when its done right, so I'm looking forward to it.

I'm gonna go see it for sure. The Rock is the closest thing we got to the next Arnold S... too bad he's soo well-spoken. It would work better if he had some messed up accent that made him difficult to understand.

There's a ton of hurriedly-put-together teaser trailers I've seen that I couldn't get any point or sense of story from - I'm sure a proper trailer will surface soon.

Not sure if it's the same trailer you guys saw before BB2... I didn't have it at my showing.

The scene in the trailer where they show a jeep fall into a stream....that was filmed not too far from my house...
....Funny, in reality, that stream is right next to a japanese cemetary.

Did you see the small poster at the apple site? Wow, it's way too classy and cool-looking for a movie with lines such as "brown hair, face like a weasel". BTW, I think the film looks hysterical and Rosario Dawson reminds me of a less weird Angelina Jolie. Must see.

Looks like the writer of The Rundown also wrote Basic and Darkness Falls. Well so much for this one being any good.
So trailers that give away the entire plot and several twists are on the other side of the coin?
