Faster (2010-98 mins) Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton

Dwayne Johnson is “The Driver”, an ex-con hell bent on revenge for getting double crossed after a job and the murder of his brother. On the other side of it is a detective who is nearing retirement (Thornton), another hot shot detective out to solve the new and possibly old cases (C. Gugino), not to mention the mysterious, hot shot assassin out tokill the Driver for one last job. It’s kind of one of those rediculous to believe action type movies, in the vein of a lighter “Shoot em up”. Not quite the level of that action but the rediculous unbelieveable at parts end. It’s a real bad movie, but I have to admit I did like it quite a bit. It’s just fun to see Johnson on the screen pissed and kicking ass. It doesn’t break much ground and no twists you don’t see coming but like I said it’s fun and likeable for the testosterone crowd. Most women won’t like it b/c the story blows, way too many plot holes and unanswered questions, but eh who cares it’s just a fairly fast pased kick ass revenge flick. What’s also a bit to be desired is Johnson has very few lines and tries to keep it as bad-ass and mysterious which is more laughable then scary.

Verdict—> Guys will like it girls (unless they just love Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson) won’t. Poker night for the guys our hanging out for a testoserone night then grab it. Other then that prolly not. Not anything special you will like wi
