Movie Review : "Faster"

On the very day he's released from a 10-year prison sentence, convicted bank robber Driver (Dwayne Johnson) hits the streets to take revenge on the men who bungled the job that got him busted and his beloved brother killed. But close on Driver's tail are a driven cop (Billy Bob Thornton) on the one hand and a flamboyant contract killer (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) on the other. George Tillman Jr. directs this thriller that also stars Carla Gugino. - taken from Netflix.com


I have seen pretty much most of the Rock's movies, and actually kind of enjoyed them. The action is usually pretty good, even if the story line has been done before (ie. "Walking Tall" with a twist). This was no exception. Lots of good shoot 'em up action, car chasing, decent story...though I had it figured out early - just left me more time to enjoy the action. The Rock still looks buffer than ever in this flick, and meaner than hell. 4 stars
