MOVIE REVIEW ---- "FASTER"

Over the weekend I had a chance to view the film "Faster".  It stars The Rock, Billy Bob Thornton, and Mike Epps.  I went into the film expecting exactly what I got -- a turn and burn action movie with little to none deep thinking dialogue that allowed for me to just enjoy the experience.  The movie centers around "Driver" played by the Rock, who is trying to avenge the murdur of his brother after he is released from prison.  He travels all over the southwest hunting down everybody who was involved.  Billy Bob Thornton plays the "Cop", a detective who is nearing retirement and doesn't seem to have the respect of anybody on the police force.  While Driver and Cop are doing their dance a third person gets invovled as he has been hired by some outside party to eliminate Driver before he takes out everyone invovled in his brother's death.  Overall I would give this film an 8/10 stars for providing exactly what I was looking for --- a two hour escape!

  2. I haven't heard of this movie either and the way you summed it down doesn't sound so interesting to me. He looks extra (too) buff though in those pictures.. :o
