Dir. Peter Berg

Part two of “The Rock” double bill is a silly romp through the jungle with Sean William Scott and Rosario Dawson. There’s not a lot I’d actually like to say about the film, it was a silly action movie with great stunts, really brutal looking stunts, and that’s about all that stuck with me.

The only major point that comes to mind is in the casting and performance of the villain. Christopher Walken has become quite a cult-favourite as far as actors go with his unusual looks, voice and comedy performances and he keeps that up throughout Welcome to the Jungle which lends his character a kind of fun charm, making the audience like him. The problem with this is that his character is doing despicable things, he’s meant to be a genuinely evil guy but unfortunately you like him too much to really go along with the other character’s hate. It’s a strange split that doesn’t work and is the major flaw I found in the film.

Other than that, an enjoyable action film, but nothing more.
