Faster (2010) 7/10

Starring : Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Oliver Jackson-Cohen
Director : George Tillman Jr
Running Time : 98 mins

Following a decade long stint in prison, ex-con James Cullen (Johnson) decides to track down the people responsible for his brother’s death and kill them all. As he drives across the country, tracking down his victims, he is pursued by detective Slade Humphires (Thornton) who is trying to stop him and a hitman (Jackson-Cohen) who is trying to take him down.

Although this sounds like a Segal movie and feels like a Statham movie, this is actually pretty good stuff. The Kill Bill-esque story line works effectively and it has enough twists to keep itself interesting from start to finish, with Johnson putting in a worthy performance as the lead. A must for any action fan, even though it does get predictable at times.
