I was bored after 20 minutes. Why this needed Billy Bob Thornton as a mixed up cop and some English twat as a ponce of a hitman, I don't know. Isn't The Rock, like a new age Bronson, going around killing people enough? No, it seems we have to dick about first.

*sigh* Someone give The Rock THAT role he actually deserves, give him his John Rambo or John Matrix. Don't keep giving him this.

It is not often I sit down to watch a film with a maximum of 10 lines delivered throughout.
There is enough action, but a complete lack of reason behind anything. People just shoot stuff and knock shit over, but no one knows why.

This was not what I was expecting at all nor was it what I particularly wanted, and I don't know if I'd even ever watch it again. But, FASTER turns out to be a very well made action-thriller (a dark one at that) where The Rock just murders everyone. I can't really bemoan that kind of thing. In fact, I wish he'd do more like this, and less Disney garbage.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

There are flashes of the film this wants to be, themes of revenge, respect, forgiveness, and redemption run throughout, but the film never quite manages to gel them together into a satisying whole.

Still, this is a fairly engaging thriller, and if you enjoy watching Dwayne Johnson shoot and stab people whilst looking hot, you may find something here.

Also, Maggie Grace shoots a gun. Who doesn't enjoy seeing that?

This is just a well-oiled little revenge tale that I didn't expect much from, but left me quite satisfied.

Someone call the Ironic Titling Police, we got a perp!

Safe and predictable it might be but that doesn't stop it being hugely entertaining if ultimately forgettable.

Shittier.

more of a revenge flick in the 70's style than an action movie, but still good fun. the script is silly and our main hero would last less than half an hour in a real life, but the main thing that it looks nice (i liked the look of the movie a lot) and has an amazing soundtrack. Rock's charisma is a cherry on top of a surprisingly enjoyable movie cake...

The Rock is a big man... but seems to go largely undetected as he treks around shooting people at point blank range and then calmly wandering off in this rather odd revenge flick. It had the ability to be so much more than it ultimately turned out to be, but passed the time away without too much (any?) thought being required by the viewer.

A solid 'Meh' from me.

The Rock does the revenge thing to solid effect. Telegraphed plot, but it's quick and mostly worthy.
