Faster

Went to the movies today with the intent on seeing " The Next Three Days " but arrived too late so I opt to go see "Faster" staring Dwayne "the rock" Johnson and Bill Bob Thornton. Johnson plays a excon out to avenge his brother's death after a bank heist several years earlier. Thornton play a cop who is ending his career with a drug habit and a broken marriage. Upon release from prison Johnson's character starts tracking down one by one the people who killed this brother. The film is fast pace, violent,.lots of action and several plot twist with a surprise ending. Johnson did a pretty good job, I think his acting improves with each film, as always Thornton gives a good performance. I though it was well directed, and very enjoyable.

  1. Funny, I wouldn't have thought to go see this, but after talking with you today...it sounds like there is actually a good story with twists. I guess I don't expect that out of a man named "Rock". :) Will have to put it on my list.

  2. I actually think the Rock is a decent actor. He's definitely charismatic, and I think you're right, Mr. Sarno, when you say his acting is getting better with each movie. Fun fact, Doug was in "The Scorpion King" with him. :)
