It my opinion one Dwayne Johnson's greatest roles. The intro of football players in on the field action shots as he spots them in the bar is new and a brilliant add. Perfect for a bounty hunter preparing to take them on if necessary to collect a debt. The backstory of him wanting to be a chef and jotting down cooking ingredients for recipes is another clever hook. Then to have him go to the jungle to grab a clients son begins the real action. The movie is tight and well edited so that you don't see unnecessary filler. The cast is excellent and make you want more time with everyone of them, even the evil Christopher Walken character. With such a brilliant premise it was disappointing when a sequel wasn't quick to follow. To this day I think they should do one. Johnson is still doing action roles and is even a more seasoned actor. I hope someone will write a screen story and get it made.
