Dwayne Johnson plays the mythical muscleman, but in this case he’s just a mighty mortal with good PR. He heads a small band of mercenaries who are hired to quell a war in ancient Greece. This is basically a by-the-numbers action flick (Brett Ratner directed after all) with lots of passable combat…no magic and no Greek gods. There’s nothing original or special about the script or the skirmishes, but it doesn’t suck.
