Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

Dwayne Johnson talked a lot during the making of this '70s action throwback about how he was itching to get back to more muscular movies after his family comedy run. Sadly, this isn't quite the vehicle he hoped it would be. Largely inert, it finds Johnson anchoring a pedestrian revenge thriller about a man tracking down and blowing large chunks out of the people who killed his brother and set him up during a heist. Johnson does his best impression of a monosyllabic man mountain while Billy Bob Thornton largely looks tired as the cop on his trail.

Movie Review from TotalFilm.com

Director George Tillman Jr. is 'known' mostly for 1997's Soul Food and Biggie Smalls biopic Notorious. Which makes him an odd choice to revitalise Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's reputation as an action bruiser after a run of sugary fare. Luckily, both director and star follow the blueprint of all the second-tier '70s revenge-thrillers that Faster bases itself on, offering up a teeth-gritting, eye-gouging, retro-fitted kill-fest that all but erases memories of Johnson in a tutu in Tooth Fairy.

Movie Review from Guardian.co.uk

Crashingly loud and smugly violent, Faster is a petrolhead revenge thriller starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a getaway driver who took the rap for a bungled bank robbery. Now he's out of jail – and back at the wheel of his 1971 Chevy Malibu SS, roaring around looking for payback against the guys who set him up and murdered his adored brother. Billy Bob Thornton and Carla Gugino are the cops on his trail and British newcomer Oliver Jackson-Cohen is the pretty boy hitman and Jude-Law-soundalike hired by the villains to take Johnson down.

Movie Review from Movies.com

Faster is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with muscle cars and The Rock – or at least, it desperately wants to be, hence the uber-obvious nods to Westerns and gunslingers, right down to the usage of Ennio Morricone's iconic whistling theme in not one but two separate scenes. But take away director George Tillman, Jr.'s feeble attempt at genre play and there's still not much to hang your hat on in this modern-day revenge flick. Characters talk a lot about family, forgiveness, the sins of the father and all that.
