Plot |
A chef/tough guy (The Rock) beholden to the mob is sent to Brazil on one last errand to retrieve the son of the mob leader.
|
Pros |
This is a very funny and well written movie whose main characters consist of:
- A cool hired hand (The Rock) that doesn't particularly enjoy what he does but is damn good at it
- A smart-ass/whiney mob son (Scott) that is quick on the banter and isn't very trustworthy
- The lovely barmaid and girlfriend (Dawson) that turns out to be more than she appears
- The greedy land owner/bad guy (Walken) that steals every scene he's in
|
Cons |
There's some ever-the-top action including a cliff and some crazy wire-work during a fight scene. |

Recommendation |
This is a very entertaining movie that didn't win any awards but wasn't trying too. And, with only a PG-13 rating (got to keep it low enough for those wrestling fans) this can be enjoyed by all but the youngest of family members. |
