March 10, 2012What the hell was this? Dwayne Johnson A.K.A "The Rock" has been one of the few successful entertainer-turned-actor; I jumped into this movie anticipating an electrifying performance by D. Johnson despite a lacking plot. As it pans out, "Faster" lacks in every way, shape, and for... read more

February 13, 2012Just look at that movie poster, The Rock is begging you to look at his Johnson. Ridiculous.

November 15, 2011Faster marks the return of Dwayne Johnson to action films, and he is all action and practically no talk throughout. He displays a gritty intensity, may be the most singularly focused character in memory. This film is a return to the film noir genre replete with hidden agendas an... read more

October 27, 2011High octane action? I get more high octane action from a bowl of cereal.

October 17, 2011A decent revenge action type of film. It's doesn't beat around the bush, it's quite brutal at times, throw in some fast cars, a quirky hitman, a downbeat cop, you know what to expect from this and it delivers it. It has quite a good supporting cast with a fair few familiar faces,... read more

September 26, 2011How about that?? A Dwayne Johnson movie that I rather enjoyed. Now it could have been because he didn't have much to say throuout the entire movie. His part was all fantastic glares, and really decent action. The other bonus of the movie was the role of "The Killer"....Oliver Jac... read more

July 24, 2011When a movie called "Faster" and stars Dwayne Johnson as a vengeful vigilante, it feels impolite to complain about what is delivered in terms of characterisation or spirit.
Indeed, here, characters are known only by the shorthand - Driver, Cop, Killer - which you would expect to ... read more -
June 24, 2011I love Dwayne Johnson. Hey, he's from my island, what can I say. I do wish they'd stop calling him The Rock. That was then, this is now. He really honed his acting skills in the pro wrestling ranks, amazingly enough. He's definitely becoming a better and better actor.

The Killer subplot looks and feels like it was grafted on with Krazy Glue. Thornton's character never adds up. And the film's big whiplash surprise ending is a real you've-got-to-be-kidding groaner. Full Review

By the end of this underwritten wanna-B movie, only the black-and-white muscle car is left standing with its dignity intact. Full Review

Despite much effort, neither Johnson nor director George Tillman Jr. can make this preposterous tale, the latest misfire from CBS Films, live up to its title. Full Review

Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News
Johnson's performance is one of seething rage camouflaging emotional scars as ugly as the physical ones, a grim, single-minded figure straight out of a Jim Thompson or Richard Stark novel. Full Review

After an initial burst of energy, things trudge along. Full Review

Johnson's movies work best when he's playing his funny opposite. Comedy is hard. Badass is not. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Most of it is pretty predictable, familiar stuff. But Dwayne Johnson has a presence whose sum is more than the total of his acting parts. Full Review

Sometimes all you really want is a cheese sandwich. Sometimes it's fun to be 12, for a while. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotate the plot, change the period, spruce up the dialogue, and this could have been a hard-boiled 1940s noir. But it doesn't pause for fine touches and efficiently delivers action for an audience tha... Full Review
