    Unexpected bagpipes in "The Rundown"

    Watching a fairly silly "guy" movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, which takes place largely in a gold mining area in the jungles of Brazil, I was surprised when the climatic shootout scene opens with a kilted piper. Looks like the tartan might be Stewart Black, but the outfit is definitely not traditional.

    You're right - it is a fairly silly "guy" movie. My wife refers to that type as "cotton candy for the brain"! Nevertheless, once I land on it, my remote control loses all power and I am forced to watch it in it's entirety. The fight scenes are entertaining but by far the best part of the movie is the piper!

    I like how the chanter plays a right hand note even while his right arm is at his side.
