Review Detail

Faster is a story of a man who is betrayed by a gang, serves time in prison and then leaves prison and goes out to get his revenge.  Although this is generally not my genre of movie,   Jimmy Cullen, played by Dwayne Johnson, is good in his role and the action is continuous, with never a dull moment.  Although the characters did what the movie asked them to do, the violence and brutality was too much to deal with.  For one who enjoys shoot-outs, car chases and continuous action, this is a movie to see.  I tried to find some good in this movie, and I guess if one loves to see Dwayne Johnson in action, this is a good pic but definitely not for me.  The story, however, is not that simple but, instead, is quite complicated and has many twists and turns that did hold my attention for awhile.  Maybe if I were younger, enjoyed bloodshed and gore and enjoyed fast-driving cars and revenge movies I would have enjoyed Faster more.
