Sucks. Saying "It's the best film featuring the Rock" isn't a stretch, but that's not saying much. If you like "Action" movies where half the audience would rather leave to answer their mobile phones, this is the movie for you.

Seriously, SNITCH is "check your watch" boring.

Have you seen The Rundown (2003)? It is very enjoyable, and I thought that movie showed that The Rock had what it takes to be an action movie icon. Unfortunately, I do not think that any of his other movies have approached its "1980s action film" quality.

Nerp. I would have remembered a movie starring the Rock, Walken, and Dawson.

I'll put it on my queue.

I've heard Schwarzenegger makes a cameo in it as well.

He does! Ebert writes about it in his review, and it is pretty awesome.

I was gonna mention this one. It was really the only good Rock movie, that I've seen. And it was early in his movie career, so it gave me hope at first. It's a great action movie, and it's funny.

I liked the one with Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery.

You just about had me. I was about to ask which movie had The Rock and those 2.

I liked The Scorpion King and Doom was pretty good as big, dumb action movies go, but I've skipped just about everything else of his.

I really liked Skyfall. The cinematography was better than the movie itself, but it was still entertaining. I will say that it never reached the heights it did in the first 15 minutes. But it joins a long line of good films that put their best action sequence at the beginning or middle instead of the end.
