Faster

Whatever it is, just Faster! My LoveFilm Instant is a bit wonkey at the moment, but I managed to watch this through it. A former getaway driver (Dwayne Johnson) is released from jail and seeks revenge on the men who killed his brother and tried to kill him.


It's not a bad revenge film with a really good twist at the end that I didn't see coming and two decent car chases, enough to be called Drive. There are one or two problems with it though. The first is good ol' Dwayne, who can't really act that well. He tries his best, poor love, but he's up against Billy Bob Thornton, who seems baffled as to why he's in the same movie. Second was the assassin going through a existentialist crisis, which was just silly and distracting. Overall, everyone seems just a little weary, but maybe a better director would have made something superior, perhaps the Coen brothers?
