Faster

For IMDb reference:
[Faster] IMDb Link

Justice is swift. Vengeance is faster.

Oh boy, oh boy! It's The Rock! Yes, you heard me! It's THE ROCK! Boy am I ever excited like this. Yes, it's him, he's back on the track. And yes, this time he goes waaaaaaay faster. Dwayne Johnson is back to get even. For you guys who like to see fast cars with lots of actions, check this one out. And yes, his car is just awesome! Chevrolet Chevelle LS5 SS recreation (1970 Chevelle front and 1971 Chevelle rear end), the famous American muscle.

It's the same plot as always, revenge plot where everything gets twisted inside. The furious one, Driver, as the lead, played by Dwayne Johnson. He got one and only mission: Vengeance. Driven mad because of the double-crossing of their bank heist led him as an ex-con to a long dark road. Well, basically this movie is simple, but entertaining. 3 guys, 3 paths, 1 clash. No big deal. The only one feeding the Driver's vengeance is the memory of his brother. Also an egocentric man, as the Killer, plays his act just splendid. He's really doing it like he had some issues. While the Cop, yes, played by Billy Bob Thornton, a very reckless and out-of-control cop. Each of them had their own mission, and somehow everyone is connected. It's a twisted story of vengeance, hatred and salvation. The race, perhaps is not too much, because basically this is not a racing movie like Fast and Furious, but it's enjoyable. You'll get to see what a man, blinded with vengeance can do.

This is a 'less talk, more action' type of movie. Yes, there are some scenes where they talk and talk, but it's not that much of a drama. At least this movie will give you the thrill. Despite the usual plot they use here, the end of the movie, shall i say, satisfying. You won't see the bad guys live and the good guys dead or perhaps, everyone's dead. A movie, which is better than Takers. Expect to see the cars' amazing moves, logical gunfight (not like the one in Wanted), and yes, the one and only, Dwayne Johnson!

I gotta go. Got a list of people I need to deal with. See you on the long dark road.
